I recently picked up a YN560-IV speedlight, and it is awesome. I'm
thinking of picking up a couple more to use as catch and/or fill lights

inexpensive mounts for using speedlights on light stands?
Basically either a 1/4-20 to hot shoe or 5/8 stud to hot shoe adapter?
Both Camera stores here in Raleigh carry generic Hot Shoe/Tripod Mount
adapters (with PC connector):

If you're looking for tilt/swivel adapters, look for metal at the
locking screws.
I have one of these:

The problem with it is that when I unintentionally tightened the lower
mounting screw a little too tight and that plastic base split. Now it
won't tighten at all.
Better is something like this one, which is all metal:

Which is what I replaced the broken one with.
