I was able to find a Chimera speedring that holds 2 flashes but nothing that holds 3. This video shows the use of 6 flashes mounted on one boom: http://vimeo.com/40740390 It makes me wonder why he wouldn't just use a strobe like the Einstein. Because he's using them in ETTL mode (??) I use manual exposure settings on the copy machine

But are 6 flashes more portable than an Einstein with a battery pack?

Now I just have to find out what kind of modifiers it will fit. I'm surprised more people haven't seen this thing. It's still a tad pricey for a ring with three cold shoes.
