Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 Flash Bracket for 35mm Cameras

Looking around for a flash bracket, I didn't want something that was really pricy nor something that looked like it was from outer space. I don't need the extension since I use a Stofen soft-flash attachment  Stofen OM-EW Omni Bounce For Canon 430EX White  and the flash unit is pointed up. I stuck with the Stroboframe name and it did not fail to deliver. The unit is very sturdy. Camera  Canon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only) mounts securely on the bottom of the frame.Using the flash extension cable  Canon OC-E3 - Flash synchro cable  for my Canon 420EX, it mounts on the top part of the bracket (the flash mounts on the extension cable). I was concerned that this would not mount securely but it tightened well using the thumb screw tightener.During a live photo shoot, this bracket swung for the few vertical poses and the flash is right over the lens. The event was a 90th birthday celebration and with over 400 shots of guests and celebrants. It was a lively group of 80 folks and the bracket did well; the flash and camera was held in place for the three hour event. The soft handle grip made the camera unit feel lighter.CONS: If there is one concern it is the red plastic tightening knob on the bracket holding the flash. I tightened it fairly hard and am concerned that I might just break off the plastic part. But it does come with a guarantee and plan to use this bracket quite often so I'm satisfied with the quality of the unit. I hope their customer service is responsive when needed.Bottom line: Price and performance, versitility and build. This is a very good and must-have accessory.

I purchased this and received it yesterday. I was skeptical about ordering it because most of the brackets state they do not work on camera's with battery backs, but figured what the heck.Let me say that this fit on my Nikon D60 with battery pack with no problem in regards to clearance.There are several drilled holes in the mounting bar that allow adjustment of clearance for your finger grip if you want. I went with the center one as set up out of the package as it fit placement of the flash best and left ample room for my hands.The rotating bracket screw seems plenty tight for night, though based on other reviews I will keep an eye on it and cary and allen wrench in my camera bag just in case.Things I did not like about it:The single screw in the bottom sticks out way too much. I will likely replace this one with one that folds like for a tripod plate.The single screw does not keep the bracket stable in terms of rotating on the bottom of the camera. There is some textured grip stuff on it that seems to be more for looks then actual tact. I solved this issue by placing two small circle pieces of velcro on both sides of the screw and then also on the bottom of my battery pack. They are small and no obtrusive and hide under my tripod plate when I am not using the bracket.Over all I think this is a good investment and think I will be happy with my purchase.

I don't usually write reviews. I recently got a radio tramiter which was awesome, but I didn't write a review for that. I got a Honeycomb speedgrid which worked great on my flash, but I didn't write a review for that either. Too many people already sighted what I like so much about those products. I even use a Honl reflector that gives great flash results when my flash is ON my camera. Let me begin by saying if you are not doing off camera flash in a studio setting the Grip is absolutely necessary to get great, properly exposed shots. I only took a few shots since I recieved it last night of just objects and not people and the potential is amazing. Now I'm sure wedding photogs, and 'professionals' here are probably like, "uhm, der...?" But c'mon guys let a novice to strobes just have a moment in the sun. I've had no problem and I always use manual settings. I use a Nikon D40 and an SB25 untill my SB800 is back from the shop, so recyclying times are slow but the results are far superior than having the flash right on camera. If you were 'thinking; of getting it? Do it! You will be happy and quite surprised with the results. As an added bonus it comes with a small tripod so you can put the flash someplace else or have someone else hold the light while you take the picture. Very happy with my purchase.

Do not follow the published instructions and mount this bracket as shown - to the left of the camera. I know this is true especially if you are, like me, using a Canon Rebel SLR with an accessory Battery Grip. To take a vertical shot I would have had to turn the camera the wrong way. Everything would be all messed-up. I used only a Phillips screwdriver, on only one screw, to make this design correction. Oddly, setting the bracket up so the flash is on the right side of the camera turns the logo upside down - but everything else becomes perfect. You don't even need to straighten or change the bracket arm position when you switch from shooting horizontal to shooting vertical.I just recently purchased and mounted my new electronic flash on my camera with this Stroboframe Bracket. It works well for making pictures outside and inside. Outside I shoot flash mostly head-on to fill in the shadows. With the flash up and away from my camera, the fill-in light looks more natural than if the flash were directly connected to the camera. Inside I use bounce flash a lot. If the walls and ceiling are not white I may bounce the flash off a large white foam board. Using the bracket mount, instead of holding the flash in my hand, makes it easier for me to aim the flash at whatever I want - even if it is behind me. Now I can concentrate more on composing and timing my shots.I have had greatly improved results with this set-up, and I'm very satisfied with the quality of this bracket. It is a big help at a small price.

A little unwieldy but technically it should do the job. Arrived on time and as described. Pretty well made considering the cost.

It's exactly as you might expect and works well. seems to be very well built. Recommended.

item works as expected. I'm happy with transaction.
