Flash brackets

Gymrat76 · 9th May 2005

Hi guys,

Need some suggestions for a 'C-style' flash bracket to be mounted on the tripod foot of my 70-200 VR lens. Something like this:

I've looked at RRS and was considering it until I saw the price. Any suggestions as to where I can find and test other types? It needs to be able to attach to my Wimberly P-20 plate so that I can mount the entire setup on my tripod head, but has to be Arca-swiss compatible. Any suggestions?

I think you can get the wimberly sidekick, PM garion or harlequin, they're using one I believe

how much is the RRS one?
i kinda discovered that these things ain't cheap. i asked abt the sidekick once, after i saw it in action at a talk.

can't remember the price now, but recall it was in the low 3 digits.
