Recommendations for a Flash Bracket?

Want to get a decent yet cheap flash bracket for my D70 & SB600.

Any recommendations?
 
If you're looking for an "L" bracket, I use this one, but I'm only mentioning it to recommend that you not get it.

Kalt L Bracket

The reasons I would not recommend it are that the padding is not attached to the base and so you're always having to keep up with it and fiddle around with getting it placed correctly when reattaching the bracket. I like brackets with the finger grips, but this one is slick plastic and not the best for hanging onto in a hot gym with sweaty hands. Having a strap on the grip is good, but this one is situated very close to the grip even for my small female hands, probably would be uncomfortable for a man's hand. Everything I've attached to the screw on the bottom, battery chargers, tripods etc., fit, but it's difficult to get them tight enough without carrying a screwdriver around with you. And because the grip is so heavy, it takes a lot of work to keep it from slipping when mounted on a tripod.

Just thought I'd mention these details so that you'd know what to look to avoid when buying one. Look for a lightweight bracket with the padding attached, a SOFT grip with finger grooves and a strap that feels comfortable, and try it out by attaching it to a tripod and/or battery charger in the store before buying it.

Hope this helps.
