Stroboframe Camera Flip Flash Bracket

This flash bracket does what it is suppose to do by moving your flash to a different placement to remove shadows. Works Great!

The Stroboframe Flip Flash bracket in my opinion is the best non-folding bracket for the money available. I use a medium camera bag and I can just get it inside. this is the only downside to a great product. It is easily attached to my cameras and does exactly what it is designed to do. It's conversion from horizontal to vertical is very easy and the bracket is fairly light weight. I would recommend this unit to my shooting friends.

I purchased the camera flip bracket for use with my Nikon D50. It fit the camera well altough I never really got comfortable using it so I seldom did. The build is great and it still functions as new so I have not complaints with construction. I now have a Nikon D300 which is a larger camera and the bracket does not fit. I can force it but who wants to chance stripping the tripod socket on a $1,800 camera. I have since bought the model that rotates the flash instead of rotating the camera.

Unit came as ordered. I have Nikon SB 600 flash unit. It requires removing nut and assmebly at the top of the frame. The manufacturing process tightens the nut down so much that it is extremely difficult to remove.

Having used the unit a few times, I have found that the flash bracket has a tendency to tip towards the camera. This requires holding the bracket. While one can work with it, the 'cumbersome factor' increases signficiantly.

I actually e-mailed the manufacturer regarding these issues, and they were very responsive. The tipping problem is supposed to be solved by adding an anti-twist plate, which I have not tried. I'll update this review once I've tested it.

I think this is a good firm to do business with, they just need a few minor tweaks.

I bought this frame and the separate bracket for the 30D (no battery grip, just the 30D). So the good news is that it does provide an angle for the flash which prevents red eye and in general looks more natural. The bad news is that with anything but the small 50mm f1:1.8 lens, good luck keeping the camera straight in portrait mode.

For what it is, it works fine. It seems way overpriced, but I am keeping it and will probably use it occasionally.
