By using a flash bracket and cord (of course you'll need one!), you can move the flash up and away from the lens. This will create a more natural appearance in the shadows of your subject. I have always had problem with flash photography, your wife may roll their eyes when they see you with an E-10, Bracket and an FL-40 ... but it really will make a big difference in your flash pictures.

Amazon's service was great! Flash bracket is a fixed flash bracket and feels solid and works great with my Olympus E-500 with an additional flash cable. Being it is a fixed handle, this does not allow the flash to be flipped when the camera is turned vertically, thus the flash is on the side rather than the top. Otherwise very nice.

The flash bracket itself is a good well designed product. However, the flash hotshoe cable (separate purchase) that goes with the bracket has, in my opinion, a design flaw. I am using an Olympus Evolt E500 digital SLR with pop-up flash. When you connect the hotshoe cable to the camera's hotshoe, the hotshoe cable physically prevents the camera's flash from popping up thus you can't use your external flash and the pop-up flash at the same time. I am using an Olympus FL40 external flash unit. I must turn off the pop-up flash to use the external flash which renders some of the camera's pre-flash functions inoperable.
