Question mannequin heads - 07-16-2007, 02:57 PM

My family is getting tired of my saying "please please please model for me for a few more minutes"

Im really trying to work on my indoor lighting, does anyone know where to find used mannequin heads? Any ideas on other things to substitute?

Have you checked with local retailers to see if they have some in their backroom damaged?

The soft box actually came with a bracket to allow the sb800 to connect. I purchased a different bracket from BnH I believe that it cost 15.00. I can't link because I am sending from my BB.

Tom, is this what you are referring to? The parts up to the silver round thumb screw came with the SB

The Bogen is probably a better option:
