[QUOTE="Thumper_6119, post: 329737, member: 14611"] For an inexpensive umbrella setup for speedlights, I bought this kit: [URL="http://www.amazon.com/CowboyStudio-Off-Camera-Umbrella-Umbrellas-Shoemount/dp/B008S1W19Q/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1404923901&sr=8-4&keywords=cowboy+studio+speedlight+umbrella"]Amazon.com : CowboyStudio Doulbe Off-Camera Flash Shoe Mount Swivel Umbrella Kit for Nikon Canon with 2 Silver Umbrellas, 2 Shoot Through Umbrllas, 2 Shoemount Brackets and Carrying Case : Photographic Lighting Umbrellas : Camera & Photo[/URL] Inexpensive, light (albeit a tad flimsy), and easy to move around. It easily accomodates both of my SB-800's. It comes with two pair of umbrellas, two stands. Less than $70 shipped (in US). The stands are not so flimsy that I worry about them falling over, at least indoors. Outdoors, a good wind will do them in, but that is going to be the case with anything that is basically a sail on a stick. (And living in the Texas Panhandle, wind is just a fact of life here). I have only used these indoors thus far, and they work great. For an inexpensive speedlight umbrella started kit. Not a bad kit at all, especially for the price. But as has been stated, you get what you pay for. But this kit got me started with off camera lighting, and it has been a good jumping off point, if you will, to start learning to use such peripherals. [/QUOTE]
