A Trio - DIY Multi-Flash Strobe Mount
Multi flash mounts are cool. I have discussed them before when we did a DIY on a dual flash mount. Just a quick recap: Using multiple flashed allows you to either drive more light or to remain on the same light level, while recycling faster. You can read it all here.
Using some objects that my wife will call junk elements smartly scattered around the house, photographer Brent Pennington made a three-way flash mount. Ha! Three is better than two. It will drive a stop and a half more.
As a bonus, Brent's device relives you of the need to use a stud on your swivel. That's a major bonus if you are like me and keep losing them. Kudos.
Of course, you could always sin and get the one made by Lastolite, but then where would all the fun (and your 70 greens) would be?

maybe
A piece of wood could be more solid and nicer
A 1/2" 4 way PVC connector
A 1/2" 4 way PVC connector painted black would be stronger and look better.
I have a Canon 20D and am looking for a shoe mount flash
I primarily use the camera for portrait, wedding, indoor and outdoor shots. I was looking at the speedlite 580 ex II which has a good review. Does anyone have a feedback?
