Guys,
anybody know better quality cold shoe for strobist that can hold bigger flash ?
I got some from online store also bonus cold shoe from Quantum and it seems so small,
also the mounting screw uses 1/4" thread where 3/8" thread is slightly bigger and seems more secure

I think I need a bigger one so I can mount it on a lightstand worryfree,
found this handsome seller on ebay, bigger size, longer rail and front end is sealed so flash won't easily fall,
also bigger 3/8" thread use so it feel more solid than ordinary products, what do you guys think ?

Looks OK, but when suitable, I like the 'Godox S' bracket that clamps the Flash-head.

The black 'Stroboframe' style clamp in your second photo is also OK but I've had the side screw thread strip on two. On impact, anything stronger will just break the hot-foot off from lesser Speedlites.

Like Ocean said, I use S-type bracket for Godox AD360 (similar to Quantum).

I see, that's the S-bracket that Godox reseller mentioned when I talked about this
