p.1 #1 · Adaptor Question

I have a question on which adaptor people recommend for the following use:

I want to use my Elinchrom Dlite on a stand with an umbrella so I need something like the Manfrotto 026 Lite Tite. I was wondering if anyone had an alternative to this one, I use Lastolite on my other stands but cannot find an equivalent from any other brand.

?? The Dlite surely is able to hold an umbrella, why need an extra?

Manfrotto 026 is a great choice for umbrella adapter!

That said, I agree with Peter, you should be able to mount straight to the Dlite by the looks of it.
