I love having portable off camera flashes but sometimes the light stands are just too bulky and awkward to strap on your backpack. As I was preparing for a mountain shoot that required me to pedal up the mountain I thought I would really test out the "Jaws" flex clamp from GoPro. I knew I was going to need some extra flash power to compensate for the harsh lighting and there was no way I was packing light stands. The idea was to clamp my off camera flashes to trees instead of stands. I made a temporary mount shoe-gopro using a zip tie, an 8mm bolt and gaffer tape. Now that I know this works I will work on a more permanent mount. This is a great lightweight, pack friendly solution. I would note that with a Nikon sb900 and Pocket Wizzard attached it gets a little flimsy but it's a little flimsy on a light stand too.
