Re: Buying new wireless flash triggers....plz advice

This wont work if i want to use an umbrella. + it limits the flash being tilted. I can only tilt the flash head. Secondly i think this method can only be used with a standard tripod that comes with a screw bearing mounting plate. Standard tripods dont reach any more than 4-5 feet in height. We would all want a flash to go at least 7' so that we could light a standing subject from an upward direction ? If i mount it in a standard stand. I just cannot point the flash downwards as you are well aware that the flash heads stop at a horizontal level and from ther can only move towards upward pointing.

So if i want further finetuning etc ill have to use a flash stand bracket and that wont have the upward screw feature to tighten the RF-602s. Am i right ?

Regards
