Hi,

I have been searching but can't find anything useful.

I am looking for a decent pod or stand or something that I can attached 2x 600ex-rt to it. Then i can get my light assistant to hold it high up for me pointing it at the couple.

Any suggestions?

thank you
regards,
Scott

Yah it works well hand held.. :) The grip on the main shaft really helps out.. I only did it with flashes more than 2 on any bracket gets kinda heavy. :) Although on the multiboom I modded it to get 4 but also you can get additional parts to have 4 flashes. I have one of those tri brackets also You would have to put it on the end of a boom or light stand.

I love Feisol products and there monopods weigh less than a 1.4 lbs and support 25 lbs. I attach my Cheetah Qbox to the monopod and the whole thing weighs 5-6 lbs and can extend almost to 7 feet.
