I found the same thing on Amazon for about the same price, so I might give that a try should I get the Brolly Grip.Ken Brakebillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-25969840328427429072012-12-10T15:44:48.098-08:002012-12-10T15:44:48.098-08:00Hi Ken.

I got the thumbscrew from ebay. It is variously described as 1/4-20 to hot shoe adapter or some similar title (e.g. item 200598595922). But FYI my SC-29 is almost always stuck on the brolly grip.<br /><br />I didn't know Lastolite was part of Manfrotto. Have fun!<br /><br />Best regards,<br />Mic360 Rumorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01173469932778454315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2361251099864607419.post-50698735416212917132012-12-10T14:40:10.015-08:002012-12-10T14:40:10.015-08:00Thanks for the review.

Imo, this is enough of a flaw that, along with no set screw to hold the umbrella, I think I'll pass on buying it. I want to be able to easily take these components apart. Sure, I could attach the SC-29 with a longer 1/4-20 bolt from the hardware store, but then it would make dissassembly require a small wrench. Manfrotto (Lastolite) will be at the Imaging Expo I mentioned in another post. I will ask them about this issue and see what they say.

I was so excited when I discovered the grip kit online but was hoping to see more specific information about how it was used and this was very helpful. Your criticisms are valuable as well, though I've still decided to buy the grip as I think it's ideal for a lot of the run-and-gun photography I do. I'm a big Nikon CLS user as well. I'll oftentimes simply use a SB-600 or 800 on a flash bracket set for bounce, triggered by CLS. Being able to do the same thing but with a built in brolly will be great!Jessehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13916592438651558064noreply@blogger.com
