Dual bracket

[tecboy]

I'm looking for a dual flash bracket or mount. It is okay to use two speedlights in one umbrella?

Absolutely... four even if you need the light.

You'll want to make sure you're using a large enough umbrella to cover all those heads and warrant using a multiple-head bracket.

The other way, of course, is to simply use multiple stands, umbrellas, and one flash per.

I'd like an umbrella bracket that simply puts the light in the middle; regardless if it matters or not.

I don't know how much those brackets are, but since you'll have to use a larger umbrella, you might be ahead if you just get multiple stands and (smaller) umbrellas.

What is the purpose using four speedlights as one strobe? Is that too powerful?

I'd rather go to strobes than spending all that cash for 2 or 4 flashes (and triggers). It opens up alot more diffuser options too, and saves money.

This works for me. It is just a short piece of bar stock from Home Depot

Using two, or three, or four speedlights allows you to cut the power down quite a bit, and get high output but VERY fast flash recycling time, and in some cases, very brief flash durations. Ordinarily the duration is not the big draw, but the lower power does really minimize overheating, and tremendously increases recycling times.

Well, your average speedlight is between 50-85Ws, so no, it's not going to be too powerful.

I wonder if I can put four speedlights on my dslr.

Honestly, I can't think of a really good reason, other than if you happen to have four speed lights and no studio flash.

Unless you're shooting in the field and don't have a battery-operated studio flash, but since you're using an umbrella modifier, I thought we are talking about in the studio.
