ellis_vener_photography Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Sinc it looks like it has a belt hook on it I'm sure you can think up something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pge Posted June 9, 2014 Share Posted June 9, 2014 <p>I know you are not asking for opinions on the concept but isn't a monopod too short? Wouldn't a light stand give you more options?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_penny1 Posted June 9, 2014 Author Share Posted June 9, 2014 <p>Thanks for the replies I'v found a velcro strap from my flash diffuser That should do the trick using the clip on the back of the device.<br> I got the idea from a youtube video showing a flash mounted on a compact monopod with a Rouge Flash bender. It looked like a good idea as it can be closed down small to hold in one hand or extended, which my assistant can hold when taking couple portraits at weddings etc. I did think about a mini handle to mount the flash on but as I wanted to purchase a monopod anyway and less to carry about.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig_shearman1 Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 <p>However you mount it, I would put the power pack as far as possible to the opposite end of the monopod from the flash. That way it will act as a counterweight and make the whole thing easier to balance as it's held, and avoid having a lot of weight on the end that is being held up.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
