[QUOTE="Kias, post: 101014, member: 9496"] Thanks for pointing me at Paul Buff, I've never even seen that before. After reading your advice and a bunch of other stuff I found on lighting, I think I am going to move in that direction. Just a couple more questions if I could pick your brain for a second. Having never seen these, I was just wondering if these are true and correct. This is the stud I need to mount the light. Do I need the 1/4 (looks like a -20) thread on top? What's that used for? [ATTACH=CONFIG]23438._xfImport[/ATTACH] ...and the turn down portion on that stud is used for the lock screw on the light here, correct? [ATTACH=CONFIG]23439._xfImport[/ATTACH] The reason I'm wondering is the ever need to be cheap. I mean save money. I have two tripods, rated for 110ish pounds, that aren't getting much use around here anymore. I just need to get the top connector right to mount the light. Thanks again for all your help! [/QUOTE]
