The Sigma's are far to heavy for the brackets, making it very difficult to hold, so will look for a couple of cheap flashguns as substitutes and try again.

Harry,
Nice one.
Just been to Sigma's web site to check out your flash. Not surprised the setup is heavy. Bit of a job controlling output from 2 big guns G/N 50.
I would think at the lens to subject distances you are working 2 small G/N 12 units may do the trick.
You can guage the power required if you take a pic with only your pop up ( just checked DP Review and that has a G/N of 13. )
