Hmmm. I really like the looks of that. I think it very well might be able to replace me using a bracket and off-camera flash cable. I just took my flash off the camera, held it about an inch higher than the hot shoe and tilted the flash and it placed the softbox right at the rim of my lens. I'll have to check the dimensions out on the extender. If not too expensive, would well be worth a try.

NOT a hotshoe extension, physical extension only: no electronics. Still needs electronic connection.
