Huh? What are you trying to achieve? Use a flash and a PW at the same time? This is why skyports are good, I just velcro them to the side of my flash head :)

I was going to try and use the speedlites attached to a pocket wizard and was looking for the light stand bracket that holds both securely. Right now, I just tie the PW to the stand. I seen the skyports but haven't looked into them. I also seen some people marketing the radio poppers and thought about looking into them as I love off camera flash and would like the range. Thanks!

Check out the new product from Pocket Wizard, it will do exactly what you want - it goes on the hotshoe and a speedlite goes on top. It has a bunch of other useful features too. RP are pretty much dead with the new PW product. There's a thread about them around here somewhere.

it sounds like your talking about Westcott's Magic Slipper.

Even with the new PW Flex out, I've still read a few places that have better luck with the Radio Poppers. For this reason, I've waited on what to get.

I used to tie my pws to my lightstand where my speedlite is ontop
now i am using a multi purpose C clamp which the pw can be attached onto it.
