I have one stand and would like to connect 2 umbrella flash brackets (kind of like these (external link))

I would like to rig the stand so there are 2 flashes and 2 umbrellas attached to the stand - one at the top of the stand, the other near the bottom. The top flash and umbrella I don't have a problem with. But I'm hoping for some guidance on how to connect the other bracket near the bottom of the stand.

I removed the upright pole on the stand but it's too fat to fit through the hole on bracket.

Would a Manfrotto Spring Clamp (external link) work to connect the bracket to the stand?

Thanks for any advice or comments!

The spring clamp wouldn't be strong enough. You'd be better off with a SuperClamp.

Is there a DIY solution?

Yup, that's the one. And it's cheaper than the spring clamp you referred to in your previous post.

There may be a DIY solution but for $25.00 or so, I personally wouldn't bother with a DIY solution.
