Off-Photographer Camera
Five-foot-eight Matt Adcock (who is still taller than me) apparently loves his The difference, of course, is that Matt is still rockin' the off-camera flash. He has a voice-activated light stand toting a synched speedlight.
Can you see the second flash, which is actually in the photo? Hit FlashFlavor.com to see a bigger pic, and learn more about how Matt does it. (When he is not running like a mama's boy from a little hurricane, that is.)

I just picked up a painter's pole with a metal end, a 1/4-20 tap and a bolt today to make one.
Jeff, and so did I :)
What a wonderful idea, provides such a unique and interesting view point to the shots.

Hey, I used to be a voice activated lighting stand myself...now I need one of my own!
Matt captures great images of weddings - thanks for the insight and setup info.
Orale!!! ... If I knew the photo I shoot of Matt doing the trick was going to be here, I would have put more effort on making it a good shoot... sorry it's NOT art.. But it's quite amuzing to see my guy pull out ideas and new tricks all the time, I love this new technique and I will definitively do it on my own.

I have a painters pole that has a cuishoned bottom section... and a button you press as you push forward it AUTO extends! I use this with a small table/c-clamp i bought on ebay for like 9 bucks. it has a swivel head on it. It holds a lumedyne head or any other flash head. It is LIGHT it EXTENDS and COLLAPSES and was only 20 bucks! Highly recomended Home Depot has them
Very cool stuff. I really like Matt's pic.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and the pics.
