Head down to your local camera store and see what they have.

I recommend the Canon 430EX or the 580EX.

Or you can call all the Wolf camera stores in Atlanta and see if one of them have it in stock.

Looks like there are more than 10 stores within 10miles of Atlanta GA

You are welcome. Well .. basically, I just went to their site and search for the flash model. Once you select the product, you can click a link to see if a nearby store have it in stock. For bestbuy, 3 out of 5 have the 430ex

Badass tripod on a budget: Bogen/Manfrotto 725B - around $120. 7 pound max weight, I think..should be fine for any Canon EOS and a non-huge lens. It's ball head, and super light (but sturdy!)
