Suitable flash bracket
Ok I know many use the bracket attachment which is part of the gimbol tripod head arrangements in order to get the flash up higher so that redlight reflection in the eyes isn't (as much of) a problem. However for generally walking around and monopod shooting without a gimbol tripod head what options are there out there which are suitable for holding a flash+better beamer secure?

Re: Suitable flash bracket
Hi!
There are a few brackets (If I remember well from Manfrotto) which place the flashgun to the side of the camera, either left or right. Go to their website and you will find what you seek! You can also check this site http://www.bhphotovideo.com/buy/Flas...s/N/4288586354

Re: Suitable flash bracket
When I finally break down and buy one, this is the bracket I'm going after: http://www.newtoncamerabrackets.com/...tor_bracke.htm, based some really great reviews of their hardware and customer service from fellow forum members.
