Can't find umbrella clamp adapter

[Mangelwurzel]

Hi,

I'm having trouble locating an adapter.
I have an umbrealla clamp that looks like this:

I have my speedlite hotshoed onto one of these eBay 301 triggers.
The trigger has a normal tripod mount screw thread on the bottom but i need some sort of adapter to connect the tripod screw thread with the clamp on the umbrella mount.
Any idea where i can get one?

Would that clamp into the 'vice like' thing in my photo, or am i missing something?

Ah, wait....I see what you're getting at....:bonk:

I don't think such a thing exists, you really need a "normal" umbrella adapter, without the built in coldshoe, like so....

Is this to attach the umbrella adapter to the lightstand or the trigger to the adapter?

Sorry if i wasn't clear.
I need something that will attach my trigger to the umbrella mount. It will need to have the normal tripod thread on the top and some means of clamping onto that ridged mount in my photo

Does the receiver have a pc connector on the side?

No, it's completely wireless (or radio to be correct). The transmitter sits in the camera hot shoe.

Ah well, another idea bites the dust :shake:

If it helps, this is the best price I found for the Manfrotto 026

There just a little bit dearer than the ebay mounts :O

A far cheaper method is to use the Manfrotto 262 Nikon Flash Adapter. B&H sells it for $6.95. I expect that you can find it from other sources, as well.
