If you're going to wind up putting your flash on a light stand, you should consider buying a Bogen/Manfrotto Spring Clamp with Flash Shoe, or more well known as "Justin Clamp". Here are the three reasons you should use the handiest little gizmo:
- Your flash slides into a little plastic hot shoe on the top of the clamp, and that clamp is connected to a miniature ballhead that lets you easily and instantly position your flash in any direction or at any angle. So, instead of moving the light stand every time you want to change the angle of the flash, you just move that little ballhead.
- It has a large clamp on one end, so if setting up a light stand isn't practical, you can clamp it onto just about anything, from a railing, to a tree branch, to a ceiling tile.
- The price for this is quite reasonable, and it's one of those accessories that once you use it, you'll never go anywhere without it.
