I like some of the brackets I see at

You may want to consider putting one of the flash units off-camera on a lighting stand with one of these adaptors:

I use one that looks like DL-0316.
As for TTL operation, I don't know if it's possible with your Vivitar and then it depends on what lighting ratios you want to achieve between the master and slave flash(es). I think even with a TTL setup and Pentax flashes, the contrast-control feature doesn't let you specify the lighting ratio. Somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.
It helps very much to have a handheld flash meter.
