What's the secret professional photographers know that makes their flash pictures look so amazing? Great looking flash pictures aren't just about how powerful and expensive the flash is, it's about the quality and texture of the light (soft and diffuse versus direct and harsh) as well as the angle at which the subject is illuminated.

Canon's state of the art 580EX II Speedlite is fully compatible with the electronics of Canon EOS Digital & Film SLR Cameras including Canon's E-TTL, E-TTL II & TTL dedication.

Provide your camera with plenty of power with 4 ultra-high capacity 2900mAh Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) batteries and a multi-voltage rapid charger.

The worst thing about most flash pictures is when the camera is held vertically for portrait-type shots and you get those horrible side shadows that look as if they were plastered on the wall. The Stroboframe Quick Flip 350's pivoting flash arm keeps your flash centered high above the lens for both horizontal and vertical compositions which eliminates red-eye and controls background shadows so that they fall unobtrusively behind and below your subjects.

The Precision Design E-TTL Coiled Flash Extension Cord allows the Canon 580EX II Flash to be attached to the Stroboframe Flash Bracket and still maintain electronic communication with the camera to perform all its dedicated automatic exposure functions. This makes it as easy and simple to use your flash off camera as when it is mounted on it.

No complaints about the flash, the flash bracket or cord. The rechargable batteries that were sent were not the best and we had a difficult time getting them to charge.
