Hi guys, recently i've got myself two flashguns bounce and have ordered a pair of wireless flash triggers. All I need now is something to hold the flashguns, I've been looking at lighting stands and the adapters to get them to fit the flash hotshoe. I found a pair of stands on amazon for £24 i was then looking at something like this to attach the flash guns. Is this the best cheapish set up? confused I am hoping to use it all to shoot cars and people alike.

What do you guys use?

Some of the Hong Kong ship umbrellas come with a stand mount included

I bought a couple of hotshoe mounts for my SB600's with a PW adapter on them from www.flashzebra.com and am using an SB-900 through an EZ Fold softbox (comes with it's own bracket)

I bought a couple of brackets off e-bay (from Hong Kong) that came with silver umbrellas. The brackets are good but the quality of the umbrellas isn't so great. Can't really complain given the price though and it was the brackets I really wanted.

Thanks for that, those EZ Fold softboxes look great, might just get one of those while I'm at it.
