Can anyone suggest a good flash bracket and extension coil combo pack for a 40D and 5D?

Also,
what about portable soft boxes for the bracket/flash

oh yeah, I'm using the 430exII and 580exII

thanks!

I highly recommend the Really Right Stuff Perfect Portrait Package B87-B. Here is my review on it: LINK

Well, I'll tell you what I have, that I happen to like, although there are quite a few choices here. I have the Canon OC-E3 off-shoe cable, the Newton Di400cr camera rotator bracket, a RRS plate for the bracket to attach to my tripod, and the Lastolite Ezybox Hotshoe 24"x24" portable softbox. I can mount this combination in several ways. I can use the 580EX flash with the Ezybox on a lightstand, off-camera, and use the PWs to trigger it. I can mount everything together on my camera bracket with the OC-E3 and use ETTL with the flash..or move it off the bracket but near enough to the camera where the OC-E3 cord still reaches.
