Luke_Miller Posted March 8, 2013 Share #1 Posted March 8, 2013 Advertisement (gone after registration) Here is my first workable solution. I call it the MacGyver flash mount. An Arca-Swiss rail with a RAM articulated arm and a shortened Nikon SC-28 cord. I leave the clamp knob on the arm slightly loose so the flash can be positioned as I wish. First with the flash positioned for direct flash. Next for a ceiling bounce. Finally positioned for bounce from a wall. (Not shown) Using the arm I can also lower the flash shoe for the SF-58. In use the rail is supported by my focus hand and is more stable than when the SF-58 is in the camera flash shoe. I plan to use the Demb SF-24 bounce kit for ceiling bounce and rotate the flash for wall bouncing. In the next version a small ball head will replace the articulated arm. Stay tuned.

jaapv Posted March 8, 2013 Share #2 Posted March 8, 2013 Not too ergonomic for focussing I guess... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share #3 Posted March 9, 2013 Actually the rail doesn't interfere, since it is parallel to, and the same width, as the baseplate. It rests on my wrist/base of my thumb when focusing. I have short fingers, so if it would affect anyone it would be me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fang Posted March 12, 2013 Share #4 Posted March 12, 2013 Hmm looks like the flash unit on the SCA Adapter to the Multiple function grip on the new Leica M 240 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke_Miller Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share #5 Posted March 12, 2013 I noticed that as well. My SF-58 solution is even more like the SCA Adaptor. I was probably unconsciously influenced by it. In conjunction with the Leica Grip It does improve handling when using the SF-58 on my M9 and I suspect the SCA Adapter with do the same on the M. Welcome, dear visitor!
