Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 - 35mm Flash Bracket with Adorama Off-Camera eTTL2 3' Coiled Flash Cord for Canon EOS

I purchased this to use with my Canon Rebel XT and Vivitar 285HV flash. Unfortunately, the cable doesn't seem to support the Vivitar flash even though the flash works fine directly on the camera and was designed to use on Canon cameras. I've used the flash about a year and a half with no problems. I did try an off-brand cheapie flash that came as part of a kit when I bought the camera and it works fine with the cord. I hate to now purchase a Canon flash just to use this bracket since I'm contemplating upgrading cameras and would prefer to purchase flash for the new camera (not Canon). I guess I will be sending the unit back. I gave three stars because the cord does appear to work, just not with my Canon-equivalent flash.

This item has worked perfectly for me. I have had no problems with it and I am very satisfied.

This item worked intermittently. It was brand new and during a wedding shoot the flash would not always fire. Very disappointing. I did return the cable but kept the stroboframe. I bought the Canon brand cable but have not used it yet. I would not buy this brand of cable.

This device works fine. It is well made. I use it on a Canon 40D with the 580 EXII. It's quite sturdy, supports the flash without any flexing, and makes a good handle for the camera. We walked around downtown Denver all one day during the DNC and I found the bracket as good a carrying handle as flash bracket. There are a number of threaded holes on the bottom of the bracket that allow different mounting positions, and a tripod shoe can be fitted to the bracket by one of these extra holes. The flash cable seems to be well made and has worked well. The only fault I can find is more of a quibble than a fault; I would prefer a beefier hand grip/cushion. This item more than meets my requirements, and is a good buy.

Update: The cord is defective and does not hold flash securely.

Adorama's customer service closed by 9 am PST on Friday, and Monday is Labor Day, so for at least 4 days, Adorama's 'Customer Service' is unavailable.
Adorama 'form' e-mails insists that returned merchandise must be in the original packaging which I threw away a couple days after receiving the product. It wasn't until I actually used the product that I learned it is defective. FYI - the packaging was a large zip-lock style bag.
Adorama's 'form' e-mail has a link that will 'allow' me to get a UPS Return Label, but the link is broken, the only thing the link generates is:

Error: Unable to retrieve the UPS Label information. Please check the retrieval link. ( Error Code: 0 )

I have purchased well over $5000 in photography equipment from Adorama before this purchase and never before have I received defective merchandise, but now I will have to reconsider ever purchasing anything else from Adorama.
