Usage of Flash brackets on Minolta systems...

[kelster]

Hi fellow minoltians...wanna ask you all if anyone of you had experience using a flash bracket with their KM cams (say either 505si/Dynax7 or the new D7D)?

What I would need to get?...A off cam flash cable?...a off cam flash adapter?...or a off cam shoe?...

went down to CP to look at some of the brackets...the flash shoe on the brackets looks like doesn't fit my 5400HS leh...heh...so neber buy...any advise on this?...

Hiee Kelster...

Here is a set of photos of my Macro stup with the help of a simple $10 bracket from P&G adelphi and then a miniball haead from giottos......

Work wonders for this economical setup.....

Hope this will help you have some idea on what alternatives (cheaper)
there are.
What i like about this setup is that the off-shoe cable can swap place with the flash when i need the flash on the camera....

The ball head is attached to the plastic flash stand that comes with the 5600.

That reminds me that Sulhan missed the stand out in pic #1, and what's the thing mounted on the vertical grip? not the bracket, its like a small quick release.

Okay.....the MS-2 was missing in the stand by pasar malam layout....The Thingy below the grip is the quick release for my b-head.

I just palinly screw on to the quick release as it it self have a hole for tripod screws....
