Do any of you use any speedlight accessories? I was looking at getting a stand and a soft box for my 430 ExII which I want to get off camera, I already have a 3m ETTL cable and will soon be getting some wireless triggers (Rf-603)

I understand I would also need a clamp to mount the speedlight to the stand, I'm aware that some clamps also allow for an unbrella.

Do they do a handgrip for speedlights? So you could hand hold it with a softbox and get someone else to walk around with it, whislt being fired through the wireless trigger.

What would you recommend?

Thanks
 
Have a look at Lastolite.
 
I have some silver brollies/shoot through to use with my speedlights and an adapter that takes the speedlite and the brollie from The Flash Centre. These fit on my Elinchrom light stands. I also got an interfit 'snoot' adapter which fits rather like a small softbox on the flash held in place with velcro.

I bought a couple of these softboxes from Bessel and two of these stands from Amazon

The brackets that come with the softboxes allow u to use an umbrella with it if u so wish. Not bad at all for the money.

How much where those softboxes?

£34.99 inc vat, not sure about delivery rates though.

Lovely thanks, can you use both lights and speedlites with them?
 
Those particular ones are designed for speedlites only. If you wanted some to use for both u could go for some S-Fit speedboxes and and S-Fit speedlite adapter ring. Would be the more expensive option but opens up alot more possibilities for what modifiers you can use.
