If you're looking for something to mount a flash on a tripod, I use one of these;

Failing that, the Nikon flash stands that you can find on ebay also have the screw for mounting to a tripod. I think you can get those pretty cheaply on ebay.

Lilly, get the one from ebay that Peter mentioned, it is the same design as the one that comes with a Nikon SB800, has the tripod screw on the bottom and my AF500FTZ fits nicely and is well balanced, should be just as good with a 360 or 540.
Cheers
Brian.
LBA is good for you, a Lens a day helps you work, rest and play.

Right!

The Pentax one I linked to earlier does not have a tripod mount.

This one would do the job though?

I've got an identical one and I've just checked that a Pentax flash does fit in the slot, and it also has a tripod socket.

Depends if you can live with the Nikon branding??

Another eBay link specifically mentions AFG360 and 540 and it can be screwed onto a standard tripod thread.

I'm glad you posted this Mike - I'm looking for something like that too! I have an AF360FGZ btw. I'd rather not have to join e-bay to but one though.


Off topic - I hear there was terrible weather in Alicante province this week - I hope it didn't affect you at all.
check your messages Gwyn...
Fired many shots. Didn't kill anything.
