[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 540181, member: 12496"] The advantage of the furnished plastic stand is that it allows the flash to stand up alone on a table top. But for a light stand, there are many better choices. My strong preference is the Stroboframe 300: [URL="http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/search?Ntt=stroboframe+300+shoe&N=0&InitialSearch=yes&sts=ma&Top+Nav-Search="]stroboframe 300 shoe | B&H Photo Video[/URL] These two choices are the same shoe, both very usable, and it holds like a vise. Both have the metal 1/4 inch treads in bottom. The "general purpose" choice includes a large knob, usable in some situations, remove it on a light stand. The other choice includes a bottom pin to prevent it rotating on a flash bracket, which is easily removed for use on a light stand instead. The SB-900 foot was slightly thicker than some, and not all brands of shoes will accept it. The Stroboframe shoe will accept it. [/QUOTE]
