Styrofoam Burger Box Omnibounce, supported by worm strap

Here's three cheap ideas illustrated. The first is using a styrofoam burger box as an omnibounce. Just cut a slot in the hinge and push it over your flash head. The second is the famous cheap Gadget Infinity Cactus V2s radio flash trigger. The little red LED shows that it is firing this flash, which happens to be an old Sunpak 30DX here set at 1/16th flash power. The third is hanging the flash and radio trigger by means of a worm strap, a cushioned plastic semi-stiff wire strap intended for securing things to roof racks, bike carriers etc.. This is a cheap easily used alternative to clamps, ball bungees, and so on.

The simple strobist rig used to take this shot is shown in the next photograph.
