Stuff I might want to buy someday

Storm uses one of these $150 gadgets. It offers precise x/y translation as well as rotation: Storm also uses clamps to hold flash units. Here is a list of gear he recommended in an email 9/5/2023: Storm actually specified the smaller converter kit, but the big one has more gadgets I probably don't need.
Also there are other flavors of the cold shoe mount and kits with several.
The "crab clamp" is the heart of the matter. Search on "Camvate pole clamp" and a myriad of other options present themselves. The universal magic arm has two ball heads and is sort of the crab clamp without the clamp.

The Godox flashes are well priced, use Li-ion battery, and are EOS compatible. The "-C" indicates the EOS Canon compatible variant. You can buy 2 flashes and the trigger for $417, which is quite a bargain compared to the price for Canon speedlights.
