Thys, This might not be what you're looking for, but I posted it a few days ago. Complete set of sample photos of the portable setup I use along with a description of each part and who manufactures it. The only thing that should be noted is that these photos show the umbrella to flash positioning in the position I store it when not in use (so it will fit back into a corner without the umbrella causing the light stand to jut out into the room). When in use, I simple loosen a knob and slide the umbrella away from the flash. http://www.ruscelli.com/canon_550ex_flash.htm Al Ruscelli * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
