Hey all,

I want to setup a lightstand with 2 flashes. What would I need to mount them? I know I'd need a light stand, how would the flashes mount on the stand?

thanks!

If the flashes are hotshoe flashes, you'll need something like this.

You will need: 2 lightstands, 2 flashes, 2 swivel brackets, light modifiers(umbrellas), 3 pocket wizards or some other kind of RF trigger or a Canon ST-E2 or a master IR Flash i.e. a Canon 550ex or 580ex. For swivel brackets and flash accessories go to Flash Zebra @ http://www.flashzebra.​com/brackets/0041.shtm​l (external link)
