Modified Nikon flash
I'm dead keen to use this idea on my old SB600 flash unit that didn't bounce well enough (as in off the floor when it landed)
I now have one SB600 flash unit that failed to properly latch onto its mount and one that was knocked over attached to a very heavy tripod by a drunk at a nightclub.
The one linked to is an old SB24, now sporting an external flash tube which makes it possible to connect it inside softboxes while (if using my SB600) retaining the iTTL functionality. It's a low power studio option that would really suit my preference to get back to shooting studio shots at very wide open apertures.
I do need help with soldering though - I'm so out of practice and no longer even keep a soldering iron. That and I am trying to track down some usable specs for the wiring and if different capacitors may be required for the different flash tube.
