Hi posted a DIY project some weeks ago about a damn straight forward way for attaching your flash to a tripod horizontally, this time I want to show you a much better way, but you’ll have to put in “some work”:
Why I need a horizontal flash holder? There are three reasons why:
Here is my solution you’ll get about 8 adapters, quite a lot even for you strobist guys ,only spending les than 20 bucks:

Sometimes when you are in a tight/small location or in case you don’t have enough studio flash stands or where to stand them, you have to improvise. There is a budget solution to that. I saw on eBay , some stores that sells a small spring clamp with a screw like on top of your studio lighting stand, those offer a solution, but won’t hold a decent weight (500gr declared) and are mainly supposed to hold a reflector or a radio trigger. Those eBay – clamp studio flash holder costs about 10$ including shipment, but won’t hold a flash to a door or a bar in some small location.
I came up with a quick idea on how to try and solve this problem, I put a short (silent) video on the how to, even thought you might get the idea on how to build it just by reading further and looking at the images.

If you have been tyring to do some video photography with your DSLR youl’d probably already found out that the focusing motor of your lens makes a lot of noise that is heard loud and clear on the soundtrack of your video. Not only noise, many DSLR cameras can’t really focus fast and well and you get what we call it focus hunting - when the lens goes back and forward while trying to find your correct focusing point, not so good…
So thats the time to go on manual focus mode to reduce this noise and focus much better. Here are some very useful ideas on how to do it really on the budget!!!
ENJOY!!!

This is my design for a diy 3 flash bracket holder
This time I want to talk about another popular project in the DIY Photography filed, thats multiple flashes bracket.Above is my design for multiple flash bracket. It is made of a metal rectangle that makes the trigger brackets holder that I got from a local welding workshop leftovers. I asked the man there to drill some holes for me, as I didn’t think I had a good chance to make it at home and the man was so nice…After you got the metal rectangle drilled, you are actually done, all you need more are some bolts and small discs for better holding and you are of to go and attach up to three flashes in this hack.

I don’t remember when and where I saw the for the first time (I had this post on draft for some time), you can read the full story at a discussion in this forum. At first glance I wondered if canon made some kind of a rare realise for probably their most popular lens the canon 50 f/1.8 ,thought it will make sense if they do so (I’m sure there will be many to buy the white one), but then when I took a closer look and read the rest of the discussionI realized that its a great original DIY project.
How nntenzo (thats his profile on the forum) did it? Its basicly simple:
Here is another version for this great one:
Some Q:
