Thanks all for the comments, suggestions and links. I'll visit the links tonite. I have a 360FGZ, it's pretty impressive, especially wireless TTL! That and the 280T are the ones I'm interested in using for macro. I made an aluminun stake with 1/4-20 thread on top, hope to use it to hold the flash in an off camera TTL (5p) shoe. It's shaped like a lower case h with the extra leg on the bottom to keep it from turning, got the idea from a "plant pole". Should give a little control over placement without being too cumbersome.
