What do I need?

I've got some flashguns and getting some stands for them. The stands come with a 1/4" screw thread and the flash guns are hot shoe mount... What do I need to convert/adapt the stands to take the flashguns?
Please share links, I've looked on ebay but the chinglish used confuses me and I can't work out if I'm buying a thread to hot shoe adapter or hot shoe to screw adapter lol.

Didn't you have little stands that came with the flashguns? If you did then all you need to do is put the flashgun on these via the cold shoe, then the screw in the bottom of these stands will screw onto your 1/4" screw on the lightstand. No money spent.

But that only gets them 'attached' they won't tilt and unlike the adaptor there'll be no brolly hole.

I'm not worried about the brolly hole but good point about the tilting!

Beat you both to it on the original thread of exactly the same content but slightly different title :) :)

I've merged them both now. If you create a duplicate thread in error, simply report it and someone in the staff room will put down their coffee and :jaffa: and zap it for you...
