How do I make my Speedlite 580EX "Umbrella-ble"

[Alex Maldonado]

I have a Speedlite 580EX and I am interested in mounting it with an umbrella to "enhance" my lighting at weddings.

What do I need to get?

I currently have a 5D and 1 580EX.

Curtis N is right. You can also check out this link, there is a video by David James that shows you how to set everything up.
