Ideas We Like: Greenie Clamp Mini Stand

You have already seen how to convert these cheapo, 99-cent Home Depot clamps into flash mounts, using your umbrella swivel adapter and another 39 cents worth of hardware.

But Strobist reader Zedin has gone one better and is using $1.98 worth of the greenies (along with an umbrella bracket) to make an impromptu, tiltable flash stand.

These clamps are soooo useful, folks. Just don't screw up and get the $3.99 orange ones by mistake. Get four of the cheapos instead.
