Hot shoe flash adapter I think?

[lukewoodford]

So my light stand, umbrellas and umbrella swivel have arrived and after eventually working out how it goes together I realised I need a thing to connect my flash to the top of the light stand, i think its called a flash shoe. Anyone know where I can get one cheap? I have seen lots of different variants but surly they only cost a tenner max?

Yeah really like that feature!

luke - I couldn't find it an an individual item either, but saw it paired with their own umbrella adapters (which are also excellent).

That's good to hear, I wanted the Stroboframe ones, but they're £12 each and no-one has them in stock anyway
