Does anyone know the part number/source for ordering a replacement for the flash foot stand that comes with the 550 and 580ex flashes? I need to order a couple but can't seem to find them.

In the Parts list for the 550EX flash, it's listed as Y17-3090. I did a search on that part number and it seems to be the correct part number.

Seems like there should be a generic version available somewhere (E-Bay?). I have one that came with my Promaster 7500 and one that came with my Sigma Super (the Sigma is larger and more stable). They should be interchangeable.

Get the Nikon Flash shoe AS-19, apparently it comes with a metal thread over Canon's plastic one... Can't comment myself as I haven't got one.

I saw a metal frame/plastic guide one on B&H but I can't find it now.

That's a very good point. The Sigma shoe stands (at least the one that comes with the EF 500 Super) have a metal brass-insert thread, too, so that's another option.

I have an old Sigma DG and it has the metal insert also. Canon is usually cheap where you don't notice it.
