Which Flash Bracket? RSS?

Manfr3d

I'm looking for a flash bracket that allows me
to use my flash (with ttl coord) for macro
work. Optimally the flash bracket would also
be usable for telephoto flash (birds). I found
the RRS Flash Bracket to be interesting:



Can anyone comment or recommend another
solution?

Rui Leal gave me this one and I remember you.
Hope it is useful.:D

Thanks Antonio! These are great links.
After going back and forth I now decided
to get the RRS Flash Bracket ring type
and some extention arms - I think this
gives me the greatest flexibility for
positioning the flash for macro work.
And it will fit with the RRS stuff I
already own.

The WPF-1 also looks very interesting
for 140$ I'll also order it for those occasions
when I dont want to carry 2lbs of macro
arms. Thanks again

I almost bought a FB when suddenly I remembered an wooden box my father left.
At at time - some 40/45 years ago - my father was making movies.
This, after making photography or at the same time, I don't know.
I had in my mind a vague idea of a light, or struture for supporting lamps.
I opened the box and ... tchan tchan !!!!!!

I am going to make some modifications to my new flash bracket.
It is very versatile as you can see.
Well, I was lucky that's all.:D
This may give you some kind of idea. May be you can find something similar ... in an old market.

Oh ! BTW This is German material. Robust, strong and well built.

Wow and oh my! This must be heavy,
I digg those flexible arms though.
