Hi all, arrrggghhh I'm so stuck! Cannot find anything that even resembles what I'm looking for within the U.K.!
Does anybody know of any brolly flash mounts, like this- http://www.adorama.com/PFSC.html?searchinfo=flash mount&item_no=14 that will take a 430EX or 580EX (have both so don't mind which!)????
I've searched and searched, been on eBay and got one, but alas no luck and doesn't fit the flash's mount (arrrgghh!). lol

Any ideas would be most appreciated.

Also, will the Canon InfraRed Speedlite Transmitter (that goes onto the cam's hotshoe) fire a couple of the EX flashguns if they were mounted on something like the above product (within reasonable distance of course!) as I realllly need a way to fire two of them wirelessly and there are a few on eBay going for next to nothing....

Oh and just to advise, thanks for the advice on my last post re: flash bracket! Did take ya'lls advice and went into Jessops and looked at the possibility of their simple flash bracket & off-camera hotshoe cord, but neither of the two fit with each other, so that idea went out the window :D


THANXXXX!!
 
I've seen those on ebay, or something very similar, and I think speedgraphic do them
 
Having the same problem, but I found a off-camera hotshoe on Ebay £3.99 with P & P...just hoping it will fit my brolly mount when it comes...I will be buying the AS-19 Speedlight stand.

The AS-19 Speedlight Stand is included with the Nikon SB800 - complete with tripod connector...You can buy them without the flash !

There's a choice of two here - the Manfrotto already described (plus the thread to hotshoe adaptor) or the Lastolite Tilthead 2403 for a few pence under 20 quid from Warehouse Express. This is the cheapest I could find it, by a good margin, but it costs the same again for me for postage to N.Ireland. If anyone knows of one similarly priced please let us all know.
 
Speed Graphic will send to N.I. at a sensible rate bringing the tilthead plus postage under £20. There's also a version on ebay which comes from China and takes a while . It costs under £7 and even with postage is cheap. I've used for over a year without complaint until last week when the stand went over and the chinese gadget broke after a fairly soft landing. A bit of Araldite and brass wire has it fixed if not pretty but I'm hoping the Lastolite version is made of better plastic. Probably same plastic same factory but it's a glass half full day.
 
erm I got you can get a manfrotto one for 16 somat + delivery check in talk lighting I had a thread discussing brollies a while back
