p.1 #1 · alien bee ring flash and the sony a850


I am thinking about buying an alien bee ring flash for studio work with models. I use a Sony a850 currently. When I contacted their customer service folks said that I would need an L Bracket to shoot vertical camera orientation freehand shots. I can't seem to find a l-bracket for this camera. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help is greatly appreciated!

does the lens you intend to use offer a mount ring?
I don't really understand why you'll need the bracket for freehand holding, unless you're using the larger modifiers.

Had you looked for an a900 version? They use the same body. There definitely is an L bracket... http://reallyrightstuff.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=BA900-L&type=0&eq=&desc=BA900-L%3A-L-Plate-for-A850-%26-A900-cameras
