This is the setup I'm looking to get. Does anyone know somewhere I can get a bracket like this for cheap? I was thinking of buying an l-bracket from home depot and put in some holes and whatnot, but I've never been good at these kinds of diy projects so I'd rather just buy something :) All of the brackets I have found have a hot shoe attachment at the end, I need to have a screw in because I use Yongnuo triggers like in the photo below.

I bought some L brackets off ebay. Worked like a charm for $15.

if you have a bracket for the softbox that mounts to a stand, ive used mini bungee cords to attach 1-2 flashes on the speedring.

Ive rented softboxes before and bought a $10 canister of 20 mini bungee cords to mimic this:

And FYI I used it for Yongnuo flashes and triggers too.
