4.0 out of 5 stars Inexpensive multiple flash bracket., February 27, 2007

By	Woodshop Man (MINNEAPOLIS, MN USA) - See all my reviews

I needed a flash bracket for my Canon 30D that would hold my 580ex and 430ex flashes. I tried the Bogen-Manfrotto flash bracket, but that was made strickly for use on a tripod because it will not stay tightened if you move around.
This bracket comes with the external mount flash cord and remote shutter cord that would cost $120 if you bought both from Canon. So the bracket is sort of "free".
I did find that I needed to remove the remote shutter release in order to unlock the bottom latch on the mini flash tripod, then reattached the release.
I also found that the shutter release has a "hair trigger". I also own the Canon shutter release which is much easier to press half way down and stop to engage the auto focus.
The camera mount on this bracket allows the camera to move in a slide track and turn 90 degrees for portrait shots. It has a lever that locks the camera in this position, but there is no lock for the "normal" camera position.
This bracket also comes with a cloth case, but no instructions.
BOTTOM LINE: This bracket has several minor design flaws mentioned above, but for this amount of money, it was well worth it for me.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good product overall, January 9, 2009

By	Peter Li - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I just got this today and I must say I am very pleased! I use this on 40D with grip. It looks and feels very sturdy and professional. I agree with the pros and cons mentioned above. Overall, I really like the setup. The shutter release is very convenient and it is easily converted from horizontal to portrait shooting. There are no instructions but the pictures from Amazon helps a lot. There is a tripod ring BUT it's useless cause it's at the bottom right corner so the entire setup is off balance when trying to set on tripod. I also don't like the camera mount plate because you need to have a screwdriver to tighten the plate every time.
Overall I like it so far, of course I haven't shot much with this yet. The cables work great and the flash have fired every time. This thing makes the camera feel BIG! LoL!

5.0 out of 5 stars easy to use flash bracket, March 25, 2009

I like this flash bracket a lot. I really like being able to raise the flash up on the telescope. It is sturdy and easy to hold on to. Also can be used left or right handed. I think it is well worth the money.
