. . . such as the Lightsphere or whaletail, do you still need to get a flash bracket? Thanks, and I don't mean for this to become a debate on the merits of Gary or his products.

Wearing a tux won't hurt either, but it's pretty pointless. Professional wedding photographer, solution architect and general technical guy with multiple Amazon Web Services certifications.
