I have an Elan 7 and am thinking of purchasing a D-60 in the near future. I've been taking some portraits and am in desperate need of a flash bracket. Am thinking of the Stroboframe R4b. What would be a good bracket for both cameras?
Thanks

I have a Stroboframe that I have used with an older camera but I have not used it with my D30/550ex. How would it actually fire? Do I need a cable or some sort of adapter to go to the camera itself?
