Does anyone make an Arca-Swiss compatible plate for mounting a flash? Basically a normal QR plate with a cold shoe on it. Or better yet, a source of a cheap Arca-Swiss QR plates and a good cold shoe to mount on top?

I believe RRS makes on for Nikon flashes, but I havent seen anything for Canon ones. However you could get a universal arca-swiss plate and screw it into the bottom of the little stand feet that come with the flash and then use that to mount it. Does that make sense?

Yes, but I would like something a little more sturdy to use than the piece of plastic that comes with the Canon flashes.
