Now that you

Now that you've decided to put the flash away from the camera, you'll need a place to put it. And for most situations, the best option rock crystal candy is to put it on a stand lights. On one foot for umbrellas. Virtually any medium must be sufficient to securely hold a portable flash. Therefore rock crystal candy looking for a foot that has a reasonable price, you drop some abuse and is lightweight and easily transportable. Two of my favorites are the model Bogen 6 'folding into 5 sections and compact support Bogen 8'. These two feet in concrete are between 50 and 60 each, but there are other models sold from just 30 . If you're not planning to give a tough professional use, it makes no sense to spend too much money on them. The first model is my workhorse (though really use both regularly) because it folds into a compact package and can withstand the weight of a flash and umbrella without any problems. But if you think put him far more weight and are willing to cede the 3373 Ultra compact folding can find many other options, valid for almost any budget. The second proposed, for example is more solid, taller and generally can be used for much heavier lights and studio flashes (which sometimes do when necessary), but does not fold as compactly as only three sections. There are many good options to choose from in the market. But if you look only at the price when buying, make sure you buy a full support, which reaches more than two meters high. Avoid buying a mounting only funds, which are shorter and therefore are often sold cheaper. In addition to its extreme portability, a feature that I like about the 3373 is that the legs are solid aluminum. This has allowed me to make a small cut (1/4 ", about 6mm) and pass them some metal rings to attach a strap. This is a good workaround that allows me to hang his foot on the shoulder as easily as if carrying another body. Like the rest of the team (umbrella and snoots) are secured with a rubber coleteros the foot, the conjunt is very convenient to carry. You can attach rock crystal candy a leash to other media but the legs are tubular. Just use a little duct tape and some pieces of wire to build a small eyelet pass the run. There are other ways, is a matter of having a little ingenuity. Another advantage of the rest of feet compared to 3373 is that you have more options when choose your umbrella diffusers which we'll talk then. The 3373 is sized for compact umbrella folding double. But if you choose a support normal size, you have more options to choose the size of the umbrella. (It would make little sense to be with compact support rock crystal candy and tie it to a normal size umbrella or vice versa) Whatever, you do, any combination will be very functional. rock crystal candy The 3373 and double folding umbrella can be quite difficult to find. But if you do not need that last degree of portability, either foot and any umbrella will give you a very good support for your flashes and a softer light. Next: Super Clamps
