Hi,

I already have a 580EXII flash and want to use this for some macro stuff. I have heard/read that for the best results I should use a bracket to get the flash off centre and to avoid the lens getting in the way.

1. Can anyone recommend a good bracket?

2. I was looking at getting a standard ttl cord, but are there any radio triggers which use TTL? I dont want to spend £30 on a cable and then find i need to buy additional cables when I want to try more off camera stuff at further distances.... Are there any such radio triggers for under £100?

Cheers

I use a Manfrotto MN330B to mount a couple of 550EX's or the heads from my MT-24 twinlight if I want different angles from the fixed ring.

Thanks for that, it looks better than the stuff I had found :)

Am I right in thinking that you can adjust the angle of the camera?

What do you use to control the flash units? or do you manually set them each time?

Thanks Bob, I think I will give one of them a go then!

I'm going to stick with the TTL extension cable as the ST-E2 Speedlite thing is outta my budget... Unless anyone knows of any bargain basement alternatives?

Cheers
