Hm Christian. I've done some research. Manfrotto has nothing like the Wimberley flash brackets.
But I found this, and a lot of similar thingies. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Manfrotto-233B-Camera-Flash-Bracket/dp/B000KZCDLE Mounting it at the camera is not a good solution when shooting i portrait oriented. But I,m convinced I've found a solution to mount it at the lens bracket. It will lift the flash bracket 11-13 inches above the lens. Will that do? Or do I need a solution that lifts more? I'm talking about a range of 20-30m or closer. My gut feeling tells me that I need to get the flash further away from lens axis to make a significant difference. What do you think? How much lift does your bracket give you? -- MaritimTim 2009/5/7 Christian <[email protected]>: > Tim Øsleby wrote: >> >> Haven't found something compatible with the Manfrotto 393.
