Holds the Light I have attached to it well. The only thing I realize I wish it had was a piece maybe inside on the inner part of the bracket where the bold turned into. As it locks to a pole or maybe a thin stand, the only thing grabbing that stand or pole is the bracket itself and what is securing it is the bolt that's screwing into it. That screw isn't really with a steady piece wide enough on the end to lock it into place. Keep that in mind if you're looking for a bracket. However, for the price, you can't go wrong. I just shoved a piece of rubber in between the bolt and the pole i was securing the whole thing to and it worked just fine.
