I have a Vice Grip that has a short threaded rod welded to the top of
it. I keep it handy for situations like this. I also have drilled out
the tops of my studio light tripods to accept the same threaded rods
(epoxy holds it in) so I can mount the flash anywhere in the room.
Unfortunately, you also need an adapter that goes over the threaded rod
and has a clip that holds the flash bracket. The one I use also serves
as a slave for the flash when I need it. So it does double duty. Be
sure to put tape over the metal parts of the shoe if you plan on using
the 5m cables. I don't know where to direct you in Paris, but Spiratone
and Wolf Camera both have catalogs that list several different models of
these holders. I would guess that B&H would too.

PS The adapter for the T20 will also work, if you can find one. You
can also mount the flash on the Bounce Grip and attach the cable to it.
T.Clausen asked:
| Hello all,
|
| Spawned by the recent discussion(s) about various aspects of flash
| photography as well as the fact that three nice T32 flashes w. long
| (5m) cables and a connector box are laying around at home, I want to
ask a
| question.......
|
| How do you mount the flashes? The connector that fits in the accessory
| shoe of the camera doesn't fit anything else, and it's a but
cumbersome to
| set up something usefull....at least without the (rather
| expensive and somewhat bulky) professional solutions, involving
guiding
| lights, an umbrella etc. While I have (a single) of such setup's, it
is
| too bulky to carry around, takes too long to set up and is not always
| pratical where space is a scare ressource.
|
| I was thinking more along the lines of a simple "hack", bouncing
flashes
| off a wall or the ceiling, somehow mounting them in a non-destructive
| fashion on existing furniture.
|
| Does something like this exist allready, or will I have to hit the
| workshop and welder something myself? (could be an interresting
exercise,
| considering the old saying of "watch out for programmers with
| screwdrivers in their hands"...)
|
| Any clues appreciated ;)
|
| Mange hilsner / Sincerely
