Hotshoe/umbrella holder

[Hacker]

I am after an adaptor to put on my light stands that has a built in hot shoe to take my flash but will also hold an umbrella.

Ideally I'd like an inexpensive unit(s), any ideas?

Try this Colin, I am sure he ships to the UK and I have hear he is a strobist guru.

I'm ordering one from here in the new year.

Is this what you are looking for. You may need an adapter to fit the 1/4 screw

They were showing them off at the Nikon Expo but I never got around to having a good look.

Go to www.fotosupplies.co.uk for your Pro Line Tilting Bracket / Umbrella Holder and use the
AS-19 Speedlight Stand which you get with the Nikon SB800 flashgun.

I have two on order from fleabay - work out at 10 quid each from eshop898 (or some such) - bought my cheap flash triggers from them without any problem. I don't recommend 'Virtual Village' on e-bay as just before Christmas I ordered two umbrella+flash holders from them (again, about 19 for the pair). Their own online order tracker said shipped but a couple of days later I received an e-mail saying they were out of stock and they wouldn't know when the next batch were turning up Got a refund without any problem but they want me to withdraw my neutral feedback. Don't think so - especially as they're still listing them.

Anyhoo, that's just my five quids worth...
