This review is from: Custom Brackets Digital PRO M Rotating Camera Bracket for Digital & 35mm Film Cameras. (Electronics)

Well, if you've ever had any Custom Brackets products, you already know that the build quality is amazing and this is no different. With that "rock-solidness" does come some weight unfortunately. It's not such a problem for me, but most people who pick up my camera rig while mounted on the bracket usually say something about how heavy it is.

The ability to quickly rotate the camera on the bracket is honestly what sold me. It changes position easily and is well engineered/manufactured without any type of play. The fold-out stands on the bottom are extremely handy. It enables you to be able to set your camera down without fear that it will tip over or without having to lean it on the lens. Another great feature is the rubbery/foam-cover handle directly under the lens. It seemed a little odd at first, but when you actually get it in your hands, the handle rests perfectly in your hands. I actually have never held the rig by the larger handle except when just carrying it. I guess it's a matter of preference.

My one complaint would be that I would prefer some articulation in the flash arm in order to move the flash a bit more freely and creatively. Even a simple hinge of some sort would be a welcomed addition, like is found on some others. The arm does rotate making the flash effectively pivot up or down, but that isn't useful for me.

All in all... if you can afford it, you won't find a better bracket in my opinion.

Be aware that you do need to purchase a camera mounting plate as well in order to actually use this.
