Do you just use an hot shoe adapter on top of the tripod? Was hoping there might be some specific mini tripods specifically for a flash.

Mini tripods are s**t. Get a proper one and enjoy the fact you can have your flash more than 6 inches above the ground. Or get a superclamp or gorillapod and find some tree branches.

Get a cheap tripod.. about 6ft tall or so. GorillaPods are good but UltraPods are better!

How did you figure that out? The ultrapod is a crappy mini tripod and the gorilla pod is designed to clamp round stuff.

I would personally use the gorillapod. Joby make an adaptor for flashguns so you can just slide it in and clamp it on top. It gives you a load more possibilities to light your subject if you dont mind a little climbing.

I meant get a 6ft tripod AND a gorrilapod/ultrapod. That way you can get things higher up, as well as getting a bit of fill from lower down!

Clearly I was asleep when I wrote that one.. I havent seen the Joby attachment, will have to check that out.
