Greetings,
I'm abandoning my MR-14EX to a single 270EX setup. I manage to find a gorilla pod like duo flash mount for this set up. I make the flash diffuser using cardboard with aluminum foil glued inside it. I'm testing with book cover plastic as a diffuser, yet to do a full test on it. Comments and advise please. Enjoy...

5DII and a few L lenses.

Greetings,
Surely this won't beat the compactness of MR-14EX or MR-24EX. However, this set up is smaller than LordV's. So, I think with much care when going after macro subjects, I think this is viable setup. Anyway, will try and see. Thanks for comments. Keep you guys update then. Enjoy...

I'm talking about the reflector on the left of the image, you will start bumping it into things and scary away bugs
