StormCoat Hatchling 7 posts Joined Dec 2008 Location: San Diego, CA More info | Thanks for the link, Supastudio. One more question, though: does the bracket itself have a threaded hole for tripod mounting on the bottom? I like the looks of the bracket, but would probably want to be able to mount the entire rig on top of a monopod...

I like the looks of the bracket, but would probably want to be able to mount the entire rig on top of a monopod... Looking at the product photos, it appears that it would be possible... Yes it does have a thread hole for a tripod. Its also located more forward than the camera body making it better balanced on a monopod or tripod. One thing about the bracket: it gets to be a little shaky when placing so much weight on it. It gets worse when tilting the flash forward and above, but I'm not worried at all about having it fall. It's just a little scary when it bounces around a lot

They recently acquired ring flashes similar to the orbis but only 30 bucks

Overall it cost me less than $75 for the Macro Rig. Thanks for this, everything finally arrived (6 weeks later) and I am thrilled!
