Clamps and Strobes


Well, I'm having quite a bit of fun with my new old ebay strobes. Here is a shot of how to build a clamp for your camera or strobe for $6 rather than purchase one for $35. Though the ones you can purchase are much better, getting set up for a four strobe shoot would be a little costly if you're shooting on the cheap. I got this idea from a comment of a DIY clamp that David Hobby made on his Strobist Blog.

Here is a shot of David's set up from that article.

The thing that I found lacking was this information. The most standard thread size for cameras, tripods, flash mounts, etc is a 1/4 inch wide and 20 threads per inch. I may be shaving my bolts down a bit in the future, who knows?
