OK, so now you've got a flash and a stand or clamp, you'll need a way to join them together. You'll probably want an umbrella stand adapter. I suppose you could get a ball head if you were sure you would never use an umbrella (to soften the light) but the decent ones cost a bunch. And (even though you may not know it yet) you are saving your money for a set of remotes. Because that is where you will want to splurge in your little light kit.
The advantage of the umbrella stand adapter is that it does everything the ball head will do, plus it'll hold an umbrella for bouncing or shooting through. Plus, it costs less.
You can get one of these brackets for about $15.
You just fasten the umbrella swivel to the top of your stand (or the stud in your super clamp as the photo showed in the post about clamps) and it'll hold your strobe at any angle you want.
Next: PC Cords and Pocket Wizards. (And you'd better be sitting down for this one.)
