I've just got myself a second HVLF58 to go with my A65 and been playing with ebay umbrellas. I'm struggling to find a good light stand bracket that'll play nice with the 58's hotshoe. Either they are intended for Canon/Nikon or they make the gun think its on the camera and disable wireless - grrr. My flashguns weren't supposed to "bounce" in that way - any suggestions?

I have an HVL-F42AM flash, and always found my images underexposed on my old A700 (especially when using indirect flash as I do very often).<br />Now that I have an A77, flash exposure seems spot on for almost every image, especially indoors.
