Flash To Gimbal Options?

Hi, I want to try the use of flash in bird photography so need to attach my flash unit above the lens NOT the camera body, looking on line all I can find are brackets way out of my price range for example the Wimberley F-9 Flash Bracket at $169 in the USA so what woukd cost in the UK? the other option I found was the Jobu Design Topmount Flash Bracket at $125 and £90 in the UK, again as I just want to try flash in bird photography a little to much to spend so anyone can advise an alternative to fit a flash over the lens on a gimbal head? Many Thanks. Russ.

Quote:If you simply want to try you can get a 'C' flash bracket and an arca swiss mount of amazon that can make an effective solution for not a lot of money.
Thankyou, did not even no they where available.
