Diy Flash Brackets

Mounting two flashes to one tripod will expand your photographic possibilites.


Two flashes are better than one. In situations where the power of one flash can't illuminate your subject completely, photographers are left with little more than to try to get more light. Flash brackets allow you to mount two flashes to one tripod, increasing the power or giving you a shorter flash charge time. Two underpowered flashes will fire twice as quickly as a single flash, giving you the power to get the perfect shot and only waiting half the time.


Instructions


1. Screw three 1/4-inch holes in the aluminum rod, one on each side, close to the edges of the rod, and one in the middle of the rod.


2. Mount the two tripod flash adapters by screwing the wing screws through the rod and into the holes in the adapters.


3. Screw your tripod's mounting screw into the middle of the bracket to attach it to the tripod.


4. Insert the flashes into the adapters and shoot away.
