Clemente,
The MFS-1 is an adapter that will fit onto a tripod and has a flash shoe
(cold) on it. You can put any flash in the shoe and then position it better
for close-up work.
The adapter has a tilt mechanism built into it. Beautifully made, highly
polished chrome.
For Vivitar flash users there is also a fiber optic-based sensor that
attaches to the sensor of the proper Vivitar flash. The sensor attaches to
the filter mount of the photographer's lens. Works very well.
The MFS-1 had a list price of ~$50. Can get them for less than $10 now.
