I have a Pentax AF360 flash unit for my K5II & my wife's K5 which I'd like to use remotely via wireless,(which I have managed to set up) but I need a bracket of suchlike to mount it on,
Can anyone one here recommend a cheap(ish) solution please?

There are plastic flash mounts available on EBay / Amazon for a couple of ££, then use a cheap lighting stand, use the same sources, likely to be around £13 ish

Point of detail. I have a 360 (early non swivel model) and a 540. The 540 came with a Pentax branded base.

Probably not available as a spare part.

Hi

Bought this mount recently - nice and not plastic

May still have the dealer information if you cannot track down

Hi guys, Thanks for the pointers, I have ordered some bracketry off Amazon,
the next question is.....does the hot shoe mount need to be an insulated version or will any "cold shoe" attachment do, please bear in mind this is for an AF360FGZ
