Help finding this flash bracket...
 

Hi - Im trying to track down this exact flash bracket:

Folds up compact, sturdy looking + a ball head to point a mic / light any which way.

Cannot find it anywhere other than this google link.

If anyone can tell me where to purchase it, I'd be grateful.

Thanks

Dan -
They come up from time to time on eBay - don't think it's a currently produced item. I've got one similar, but no ball head, and a Kaiser/Hama that has an articulated head that achieves the same thing.

Thanks Dave - can you tell me the model you have that has an articulated head?
And / Or post a pic?

Ive found a few similar with rigid shoes on top - might end up buying a seperate ball-head / shoe adapter if I cant find one like you're describing.

I did find this, but its not as neat / compact to fit in my bag...

HI Dan -

I'm not even sure the model on mine, it came in a lot of old flash brackets from eBay... I presume the articulating head was from Hama/Kaiser, but it's had to pedigree these "secondhand" items!

The fixed shoe flash brackets are quite "common", I've got a bit of a collection of them! Folding ones are less common, but very handy to fold up and stick in a camera bag. I've got a couple small Stratos brand ones I like for this sort of thing.

The ball/articulated head option is pretty hard to find, only run across a couple here and there, probably because the more spread out and "jointed" the mechanism, the harder it is to keep the flash/light stable - it will tend to re-position itself by virtue of the weight! I have small LED lights that don't weigh much, but I wouldn't try to put any larger light/flash on anything I've seen.
