This set works perfectly with my 20D and 430EX. I have no sync issues, even when playing with before and after the curtain bursts. I had no idea how important getting the flash up off the camera and flipping it when turing the camera could be until I used it. The results were great. I don't use a battery grip, so I don't know how the added camera height will affect the performance. But it is a great value, even if you have to sacrafice the grip.

This device works fine. It is well made. I use it on a Canon 40D with the 580 EXII. It's quite sturdy, supports the flash without any flexing, and makes a good handle for the camera. We walked around downtown Denver all one day during the DNC and I found the bracket as good a carrying handle as flash bracket. There are a number of threaded holes on the bottom of the bracket that allow different mounting positions, and a tripod shoe can be fitted to the bracket by one of these extra holes. The flash cable seems to be well made and has worked well. The only fault I can find is more of a quibble than a fault; I would prefer a beefier hand grip/cushion. This item more than meets my requirements, and is a good buy.

The quick flip is good. Very sturdy and easy to use. The cord by adorama is good as well. Doesn't seem flimsy and is quite sturdy. The fit on my elan 7ne (yes i still shoot film) and 430ex is nothing less than perfect and ETTL-II shot all the way. I would buy it again but then i don't think i would need to because it's going to last me a while. Next would be pocket wizards for me.

I purchased this item through Adorama. Prompt, very efficient service, good quality item and functions very well for most flash photographic situations. This bracket system is surprisingly light weight, tough, rigid and articulates very well from the horizontal to vertical positions. This bracket functions superbly when used in conjunction with the battery grips designed for the various Canon digital SLR cameras. The shutter release button is placed in a convenient location so hand stretching is not an issue.
Would I recommend this item? Absolutely! It has made a world of difference to my flash photography in large group situations, and many other ones also.
Raising the flash well above the camera makes a huge difference in flash photography and often eliminates the flat harsh lighting with nasty shadows around the head areas.
Great product!:) Try one yourself and you will not be disappointed.

The Stroboframe part of this set works fine. Although it is a bit awkward to take a vertical picture with it attached. The button is at the bottom and have to push the shutter release with my thumb. The cord broke after the first time I used it. The plastic piece that connects it to the frame broke off. I fixed it with super glue but it broke again the next time I used it. I would recommend you spring for the pricey canon cord.

Update: The cord is defective and does not hold flash securely.

Adorama's customer service closed by 9 am PST on Friday, and Monday is Labor Day, so for at least 4 days, Adorama's 'Customer Service' is unavailable.
Adorama 'form' e-mails insists that returned merchandise must be in the original packaging which I threw away a couple days after receiving the product. It wasn't until I actually used the product that I learned it is defective. FYI - the packaging was a large zip-lock style bag.
Adorama's 'form' e-mail has a link that will 'allow' me to get a UPS Return Label, but the link is broken, the only thing the link generates is:

Error: Unable to retrieve the UPS Label information. Please check the retrieval link. ( Error Code: 0 )

I have purchased well over $5000 in photography equipment from Adorama before this purchase and never before have I received defective merchandise, but now I will have to reconsider ever purchasing anything else from Adorama.

This item worked intermittently. It was brand new and during a wedding shoot the flash would not always fire. Very disappointing. I did return the cable but kept the stroboframe. I bought the Canon brand cable but have not used it yet. I would not buy this brand of cable.

This item has worked perfectly for me. I have had no problems with it and I am very satisfied.

this flash bracket is Great for Horizontal shots, but Not for Vertical shots. On Vertical shots, it puts the flash too far off to the side of the lens & Not over it where it should be.

I purchased this to use with my Canon Rebel XT and Vivitar 285HV flash. Unfortunately, the cable doesn't seem to support the Vivitar flash even though the flash works fine directly on the camera and was designed to use on Canon cameras. I've used the flash about a year and a half with no problems. I did try an off-brand cheapie flash that came as part of a kit when I bought the camera and it works fine with the cord. I hate to now purchase a Canon flash just to use this bracket since I'm contemplating upgrading cameras and would prefer to purchase flash for the new camera (not Canon). I guess I will be sending the unit back. I gave three stars because the cord does appear to work, just not with my Canon-equivalent flash.
