[QUOTE="Mike D90, post: 254588, member: 17556"] You can use a helper or just carry around a light weight light stand with the flash attached, radio trigger or commander to command flash with no wires, and a small soft box attachment. A good well designed flash bracket also works but the flash usually stays atop the camera. This is not the ideal angle for the light to come from. From the side and above is more ideal unless you are tilting the flash head up and using a bounce technique. Bounce flash can work very well. You can use TTL with off camera flash if the flash is designed to communicate TTL with your camera TTL system I think you want to shoot from the angle that our eyes naturally see from. If a person is kneeling then I would think you would shoot from just a bit higher to keep that view aspect natural looking. I would not personally recommend doing this. Always have both hands on the camera for control. Holding a camera with one hand will get difficult very quickly, can induce shake and make it hard to properly compose and focus. the "@" makes a tagging notification to the person you tagged. Quoting does not send a notice unless the person has selected to get notification of a reply quote. My rapid strap camera bracket allows for the screw mount of another attachment. I have my tripod plate attached on the bottom of my strap plate. But yes, a bracket screws into the tripod thread so you would need to get a different strap mount plate or make sure the flash bracket has the thread mount for your strap screw. [/QUOTE]
