This review is from: Hakuba Ball Socket Flash Mount (Electronics)

This is a cool concept I must say where you have a ball head for a flash. I got the idea from Bob Krist and Joe Mcnally from thier CLS video.

The item looked good and also looked quite sturdy but it broke apart after i used it for the first time. (quite unfortunate). The real bummer is that my SB-600 fell to the ground and now it has a nice crack on its side.

I later found out that the steel cold shoe was dislocated from the flash mount. I found the cold shoe stuck to the bottom of my flash on the ground.

If you like the idea I would recommend a different setup. Giotto MH1004 (ball head) with Stroboframe Bracket Cold Shoe Mount. Very sold setup (double the price though)!.
