Strobist clamp tip

A trick I've developed to be able to mount Speedlight flashes off camera when I don't have the luggage space to carry light stands.

Nano Clamp

Cold Shoe

Ball head

Umbrella spigot thing

Gotcha Straps

Now available from my on line store

UPDATE.
After many queries about the Friction fit flash mount mentioned in the video.
I have redesigned it and made it available from my on line store

ingenius !! TX for posting !!

.... was thinking about your set up.... rather than pinching the strap to get it tight and eventually breaking thru it, why not attach the clamp rotating it 90 degrees. easy enuff to get a strap with a bungie built in that would make it tight enuff to secure the speedlight securely. the strap would last indefinitely unless u were wrapping around VERY ruff surfaces
- or....if your block was not hard plastic (harder foam, or a U-shape tube like a boat's rub rail, etc), you could also tighten the same (rigid) straps you are now using and still get a good bite on it with the jaws in a vertical position

...or if you already tried these alternatives, save me some time and explain why they didn't work out //LOL//

i do a lot of shooting where this would come in very handy and have too many umbrellas become spinnakers :-)

Thank you for the great tip, very helpful. I'm interested in that custom printed speedlight head mount. You mentioned that you printed it? I'd love to know more and about it. Also that cold shoe with the 1/4 20 male thread. I can't find that anywhere online. Do you mind sharing where you bought it?

This feels like it was shot at 60fps. Very jerky motion, hard to watch. Good content though.
