The Kupo KS-102 is an umbrella swivel bracket that comes with adapter studs for flexible mounting. It provides the same function as the KS-101, but includes the KS-014R and KS-015R adapters. These adapters are removable and reversible 5/8” studs that feature both 1/4”-20 and 3/8” threads.

How you can use the KS-102

Use the KS-102 when you need a compact, adaptable umbrella swivel that accepts multiple accessory types. Because the KS-014R and KS-015R studs are removable and reversible, you can quickly switch thread orientation or remove the studs for other mounting options. In practice, you will mount umbrellas, soft boxes, strobes or speedlites directly to the bracket using the appropriate thread.

Compatibility and practical notes

The KS-102 supports accessories that accept 1/4”-20 or 3/8” thread fittings, thanks to the included adapters. As noted, it performs the same basic swivel bracket role as the KS-101 while offering the additional flexibility of removable and reversible studs. This makes it suitable for varied lighting setups where quick changes between accessory types are needed.
