i do have a proper indoor two head studio flash kit which i experimented with outside using a battery inverter but it was a c**k running all the wires so i went for a completely wireless route.
i used the stands from my studio lights, i then bought a clamp which connects to the stand which enables you adjust the direction of the flash head and also hold an umbrella, on top of the clamp is a wireless receiver then on top of that is a standard canon speedlite. i already had a canon 420ez so picked up a second (so to keep the power of the flashes the same) on ebay for about £35. good thing is that you can buy cheaper flashes as they dont have to have a built in slave as they are connect to wireless receivers. the wireless trigger which fires them just sits on the cameras hotshoe.

tooks some pics so hopefully that will make it easier to understand.

i got all the stuff from an ebay shop called link delight (which is where i bought the studio kit too)

clamps

a second benefit is that the wireless trigger for these flash works with my indoor studio kit meaning i could fire both the mains power flashes and the portable ones at the same time, which is quite usefull if i want background lights etc for indoor work

as for the pic i used both flashes without the umbrellas but only like 1/16 power as the batteries were dying
