I have been searching high and low for a suitable macro bracket. I tried the Manfrotto 330b but found it to be underwhelming at best. I have been waiting for Kirk Photo to release thier new macro bracket, but it kept getting pushed back. I finally found something. Its a Nikon SK-7, and it was roughly $15. Combined with a small Leitz ball head that is about 50 years old (heavier than it should be, but typical 60's German engineering) and a Wescott softbox and I have a rather pleasing set up. Most importantly its light, easy to manage and packs down to almost nothing. I have an Oben mini ball head, and while its much lighter, the build quality is non existent compared to the Leitz ball head. The Leitz allows for ample adjustments of the angle of the flash.
A rather poor iPhone pic.
