Five flashes total. SB900 as the main and trigger for four Neewer slave flashes. Found the Neewer flashes on Amazon.com for $7.99 each.
I've gone through my share of Speedlight modifiers. This is the best. Optimum results without light falloff begin at 40 mm and up. Best to shoot with a Canon 40mm f/2.8 STM pancake lens for the reduction in weight.

This is a great shot as such but it's the first time use of my Orbis Ring Flash. Need to buy a handle when it comes out and a TTL cord

For some time now, I've been looking for something more secure than the standard cold shoe setup for my strobes and triggers. I never had confidence on the little cold shoe holders, especially when a using a flash mounted on a hot shoe mounted trigger. I saw a few solutions commercially but they seemed a little expensive for something so simple. I talked it over with my brother and we came up with this.
We started with a plastic kitchen cutting board. It's a very strong material and easy to work with. Once the plates were cut to the desired size, he cut spacers to give room for the thumb screws. Holes were drilled for the various mounts. The version seen here is mounted to a standard umbrella swivel with the cold shoe removed. The plate was secured to the swivel using the original cold shoe screws and holes. Loctite was added to make sure the screws stay in place. The Velcro strap was sandwiched between the top plate and spacer. A layer of dense neoprene foam cut from a gardening cushion was then adhered to the plate. The second version is mounted to a standard brass spigot so that it can be used on any standard swivel.
This feels so much more secure now! There's less stress on the hot shoe of flash and trigger. It just feels more solid. It also places the flash closer to the center of the umbrella for a more even spread of light.
Total spent was about $30 for 4 mounts (two on swivels and two on spigots). All parts were sourced locally except for the swivels which I already had. The ready made ones run about $40 each so it was worth the effort. They are definitely more solid on the light stand then before.

These jewels of the garden sometimes move with the sweet eloquence of a prima ballerina as they flit around the feeder extending the fluid movements of their wings. I have to liken the feisty movement of the Rufous, however, to a flash dancer as they skip in, then put on a dazzling acrobatic show to disrupt the attempts of the others to feed.
Series of test shots with some different flash techniques. Subject is a wooden drawing model back lit with halogen desk lamp mounted under my desk's hutch. All shots were white balanced for Flash. Flash had a 4 inch snoot for directional control.
Row 1: All in Program mode. First shot - no flash. Second shot - P-TTL, AF-540FGZ flash mounted on camera. Third shot - P-TTL, AF-540FGZ flash mounted on light stand camera right.
Row 2: All with camera and flash in Manual mode. Strobe is the main light. Set camera to max sync speed. Set flash to fractional power. First shot - aperture adjusted to properly light subject. Second shot - shutter speed is adjusted until the proper exposure value for the ambient light is reached. Third shot - over-exposed ambient light, but the subject remains the same except for some bleeding.
Row 3. All with camera and flash in Manual mode. Ambient light is the main light. Set camera flash sync speed. Set aperture for ambient light's exposure value. Adjust the flash output to properly light subject. First shot - no flash. Second shot - flash fired at lowest setting but too much light on subject. Third shot - flash repositioned farther away.
DIY Twin flash setup
The brolley mount bottom is holding a brolley mount sideways at top. I was using this setup with 2x 580EXIIs at full power to give me f/16 at about 2.5m.
This setup through the 42" brolley gave fairly nice even lighting for a couple against a midday sky.
Flashes were triggering with an ST-E2 on camera... which was working surprisingly well (camera was behind the flashes and the signal was still getting through).
I used this as a test until my proper double/triple flash mount came from elv000 :)
A red light that flashes to alert passengers that the baggage carousel is about to start moving. (4823a)
as you can see, Flash has grown into a lovely young lady ... I'm sure all the bucks will be after her this fall ... so next year I may be taking photos of her fawn ... which means I may never get to move from here ... *sigh*

This is how far & how bright my flash extends into the night. And it forms a perfect gradient, if you squint at it.
Plano Balloon Festival 2014 #planoballoon
There were several people taking pictures using flash. I just happened to catch one of flashes in this picture.
not the best shot in the world as it was getting dusky, but I wanted you all to see how good little Flash looks after this hard winter:-) it's so good to see the deer coming home ...
