I do mostly portraits and have a couple weddings lined up for in the fall. I am wanting to purchase a flash bracket that is fairly inexpensive. There seem to be a million choices so could someone point me in the right direction.

I just like how sturdy they are and i do not feel like it is going to bend or flex to much. I do have two setups and selling one complete setup for $200, a steal.. Gear List?

I use to live in Chilwell (near Beeston). I've lived in Chicago since 2001. I try to get back every 6 months or so. I get homesick when I see someone posting on the internet from Nottingham.... I'm right next to Bestwood park. I used to work in Chilwell, in 97/98, can't remember exactly. Bodies :: Canon 5D
