using reflectors without an assistant

[DoubleT]

hey peeps,

Im after a bit of advice....

ive just bought myself a 33" 5 in 1 set of reflectors now, i know how to use them as in which one to use in which situation etc... but i want a way of holding them! maybe utilising my manfrotto tripod?

does anyone have a way of attaching it to my tripod head? ive seen people use sprin clamps but im abit unsure if this is the best way ?

any suggestions (next to free) would be great

cheers

Matt

one of these, and a £10 konig light stand

that one even works as a mini boom for speedlights in a pinch too


failing that, just have some big A clamps (ebay: 'spring clamps'), gaffer tape and just bodge it. The proper stand will make your life so, so much easier though.

I have a couple, often even use one just for putting a reflector over my laptop for shade when shooting tethered... dead handy

What material is that boom made of?
