Abstract
A flash or strobe light support for a camera having a pair of members connected together to form a handle, a lower bracket for connecting the handle to the base of the camera, and an upper bracket for supporting the strobe light on the upper end of the handle. One of the handle members has a tubular end with a slot. The end of the other handle member is received in the tubular end and is connected by a pivot member to the tubular member so as to be movable to a position at right angles of the tubular member by being pivoted into the slot and locked in position by the pivot member. The strobe light can thus be moved from an upper position above the camera to a position at right angles, depending upon the position the user wants to locate the light with respect to the subject being photographed.
