This will pay for itself in one shipment of bananas! I think my wife would have something to say about the trained monkeys... John

While it may "work" it is far from what I am thinking. Superclamps are way to overkill. I dont need a 5 pound clamp to hold a 15 ounce flash. WOW thanks FlyingPhotog! The scissor clamps is very close to what I was thinking!!! I spent about 3 hours yesterday looking for something like them and didn't even get close. Do you have a brand/model number I can look for? Lot's of styles and price points here Jay

While it may "work" it is far from what I am thinking. Fair enough. Until today I'd never heard of scissor clamps. I already had the bungees in my bag. Sometimes a "MacGyver" solution is better than none.

Oh, I am not taking advantage of them at all, don't worry. I even let them take smoke breaks every now and again and I give them a nice clothing allowance. Taylor

I got the idea and started looking at suspended ceiling hooks, and how they could be modified. Some hooks are rated to hold 30 pounds! I guess I got too inventive for my own good. But I did look for a long time for them but as I didn't know the name I got no real results.
