I went to Tokyu Hand in Shinjuku, and got two different L-brackets, one with that screw knob and backing included for 900 yen. Got the two camera mount screws for 500 yen each at Yodobashi Camera, and then padded the connection points with left over bicycle handlebar tape, and then electrical tape. I had to file it a bit to get the middle screw backing to fit in the hole in the longer L-bracket, and for the camera mount screw to fit through the hole on the same bracket, but it works great~

But other’s opinion is :

The flash and Orbis Ring Flash are heavier than the bracket. The bracket is hollow tubing and is extremely light. The camera and lens are much heavier than everything else. I’m used to shooting with a D300 with MD-D10 grip, a 70-200 f/2.8, and SB-800 flash. This whole setup is lighter.
