Links to products inside … Always on the lookout for the perfect flash bracket, I’ve been tinkering many an hour in the garage and cutting, drilling and bending metal. After testing in the field, I repeat and rinse but am also on the lookout for commercially available solutions that work as well or better. 3 major factors skew our bias. The bracket should be: 1. Strong, secure and inspire confidence 2. super easy/fast to setup/use in the field 2. Smaller & lighter = better Bonus points for on-access flash/umbrella mount, captive screws and flexibility. Here’s a quick 5 minute review of 3 dual-flash brackets: The Brewer bracket, Morris and our very own custom jobby. Brewer Bracket (bit.ly The Brewer will hit the pocket the hardest, and remember you’ll also have to add a swivel mount to the kit adding weight and expense. Morris Umbrella Swivel (bit.ly The Morris is a relatively inexpensive option but really needs to be modded to play nice. [Addendum to the video: I forgot to mention the 1/4-20 holes on the right side of the bar aren’t there as purchased; you have to drill and tap them yourself). DQ Custom Bracket. Not currently available for purchase, but gives ideas to move forward to better design and usability. So who wins? Take a look, then grab your drill, Dremel, tap & die set and prepare to get dirty :) More lighting goodness on the blog at www.dqstudios.com
