Questions & Answers

Jon R : Hi can this be used with a canon t4i dslr and on a tripod?PAUL N : Hey Jon, This is a great mount for handheld shooting, but not the best option for use with a tripod. While you can attach the thumbscrew into the bottom of your camera and then screw your tripod mounting plate screw into the threaded hole on the underside of the thumbscrew you see here, unfortunately, this will create a somewhat unstable mount because the black plastic surface on the back of thumbscrew here is too small. Of course, if you are only doing stills, that might be good enough but the whole assembly will wobble a bit too much of for solid video work. It would be better to use an offset bracket of some sort with a mounting screw for your camera and a mounting hole under the bracket to screw your tripod mounting plate to. Then your tripod quick release mounting plate will have a more substantial surface to tighten against, instead of just the plastic back on the thumbscrew you see here...ERIC B : Sure. Just keep in mind that the "hot shoes" are metal and potentially could short out a flash attachment. I use mine with a video light which has a plastic (non conductive) base.RON W : Inferior product, had to buy another.MATTHEW M : Yes. I used it with my t2i.BRYAN L : The mounting screw on your tripod may or may not sit flush on a tripod. I have only used the grip once and have better results using slave flashes.MARK A : yes
Brent B : Can I attach this to my camera and then attach the camera too my tripod at the same time the L-Shaped Bracket is attached too my camera?CHELSEA T : Yes you can. Ive attached a tripod and a hand grip to the L-bracket. Works perfect.PAUL N : Yes, you can thread your tripod plate screw through the bottom of the thumb nut under this bracket. But, I would not recommend that because it will create a somewhat unstable mount. Why, because your tripod plate will not be flush with the bottom of the bracket. Instead, the bracket and your camera will be resting on the head of plastic thumb nut. Even if you tighten the tripod screw really tight into the bottom of the thumb nut it will still be a little wobbly. You will be much happier with a folding "T" bracket for $79 that will mount to the bottom of your camera and directly to the tripod as well. Plus, you can fold it up and put it in your camera bag when not in use. These mounts are great! Adorama SKU: CBCBFTPAUL N : Yes, you can thread your tripod plate screw through the bottom of the thumb nut under this bracket. But, I would not recommend that because it will create a somewhat unstable mount. Why, because your tripod plate will not be flush with the bottom of the bracket. Instead, the bracket and your camera will be resting on the head of plastic thumb nut. Even if you tighten the tripod screw really tight into the bottom of the thumb nut it will still be a little wobbly. You'd be much better off buying a folding "T" bracket for $79 that will mount to the bottom of your camera and directly to the tripod as well. Plus, you can fold it up and put it in your camera bag when not in use. These mounts are great! Adorama SKU: CBCBFTRYAN E : Yes, the screw on the bottom of this mount has a thread for a normal tripod mount underneath it. So you use the turn screw that is attached to this bracket to attach to fhe camera and then attach your quick release plate to the bottom of the turn screw. I haven't done this so I can't speak to how stable it is, though....My guess is doing this will not provide enough stability if you are doing video as the camera will probably rock a little...or if you are doing long exposure photography. But if you are doing basic photography you may be ok. Also, you can remove the turn screw altogether and if you had a really long tripod screw, you could bypass the turn screw. The thickness of the bottom metal and rubber part of this bracket is slightly over a 1/4 inch thick...so you'd need a long screw for your quick release plate. Good luck.NATHAN K : Yes you can. There is a mount on the bottom of the screw mount for your camera. For how cheap this is, it's very effective and versatile. I've modified mine to attach a hot-shoe on the top, and it's been great for me. It should be noted that my camera is very light, so I'm not sure of its weight capacity, but it's totally worth buying.NEIL S : Yes you can mount to a tripod. The base of the screw that threads into the camera is threaded for a standard tripod.MARK A : yesTOM M : This is a great bracket which can be attached to my camera as well as my tripod. It is very sturdy and easy to install. With this bracket I can position my flash well away from my camera lens.FRANK P : The Adorama Heavy Duty L-Bracket allows you to attach the bracket to your camera and then attach the combination to a standard tripod. The threads that allow you to do this are contained in the bottom of the piece that lets you attach the bracket to your camera.
Thomas E : Can I mount a Hasselblad 2.25 on this bracket and still have room for the Q-Flash?BARRY P : I purchased two of these and have used them with a Nikon D7000, a Nikon D70s, and a Canon Vixia HF-S100 video camera. I don't know how large the Hasselblad is or what the Q-flash is. The cold shoes are located so that devices are mounted on the outside of the bracket above the grip. There is a slot at the bottom which permits you to slide the bracket left or right to make more room. The knob that screws into the bottom of your camera accepts the same size thread into its bottom, so by mounting your camera on this handle you are not giving up the ability to mount it on a tripod. I have used this bracket with my Nikon cameras with a Nikon SB800 flash mounted on the camera's hot shoe and an Azden mic mounted on the bracket. This is a rather large flash and I have not had any interference problems. Similarly, I have used it with my Vixia video cam with both an Azden mic and an external LED light mounted to the bracket and found it to work very well, again without any interference problems. I encountered an unexpected benefit with my video camera. It has been difficult to shoot video that doesn't jitter with the video camera. The bracket seems to offer a more stable platform to shoot video from and this is no longer a problem. I cannot answer Thomas E's question directly, but I hope this answer gives him more information to make an informed decision. This bracket was an excellent fit for me. It is very soundly constructed and a great value for the money. I recommend it.BRYAN L : The camera body may be too large for this bracket. I'm using a Nikon D7000 body and SB800.DARREN D : Not sure, I put a Zi8 digital video camera and a direct microphone. Great bracket. I have had no problems with it. It soes exactly what I want it to do.DAVID W : I cant guarantee it, but I looked at your equipment on line and I think it will fit just fine. Its the most sturdy L bracket available. IMORON W : I don't recommend this product it is flimsy and not strong enough for what your using it for. Was not happy with this purchase, and bought a more substantial and costly one that works fine.

Excellent, but...

This grip is both light weight and sturdy, and I used to use it frequently for a good two-handed grip on the camera -- but now its added size to the camera conflicts with my preference for "compact and light" for my frequent short photo-excursions... But, given its low price and light weight, it is a good and useful accessory to have.

Mandatory for not having red-eye to deal with.

I use two cameras.. a D600 and an SB-910 with Vello AZ1414 w/ 3 ft coiled cord, and the Nikon Stereo mic with this bracket, hanging from the 'suspenders like' Opteka lightweight harness (the two straps do hold it all very well—highly recommended, too!), and a D7100 with SB600 on a spiderpro holster. I wish I could put the D7100 on a bracket and have it work in the holster, too, but that is just a bit too much. The bracket gets the flash just far enough off that I virtually never have any red-eye to deal with on the D600. The D7100 with SB-600 and no bracket, sigh, too much red-eye and post-production time. Major wahhh. LOL

Great product

I bought this to mount my gopro with external mic (videomic pro). It works perfectly, the handle is big enough for you to have a good grip and light enough for you to hold it for a long time (at least as long as your gopro batteries last). No complain, it works for what I need it to and good quality for the price.

works as expected

I mounted this on a Nikon D-610 so I could use my current Olympus flash and drive is as a slave. Fits the camera body nicely and is small enough to fit into my bag.

Handles nicely

Great accessory handle for the money and just overall. Easily allows for multiple hotshoe accessories to be attached without much difficulty. I would recommend attaching your camera first, as the bottom tripod mount screw can be tricky as it slides through the movable slot. It holds my Nikon D7000 plus battery grip quite well while also accepting a video light and external microphone on the side mounts. Allows microphone to be far enough away from lens noise(silent wave motors still make noise on video if mic is close enough) to cut down focus noise substantially, though not completely, but that also depends on your mic choice. All in all I'd buy this product again and another for a friend.

good design, well-made, very low-priced

Rigid yet light-weight bracket, very comfortable grip with a slight--just the right amount--of stickiness. The second shoe is great, allowing both a microphone and light to be mounted on one bracket.

Useless

There is no way to secure a flash unit to this bracket rendering it completely useless. I returned it.

This Product is awesome

I use this with my GoPro Hero2. The L-Bracket gives me a stable way to hold my GoPro and with the shoe mounts I am going to be able to attach an external microphone. The L-Bracket is light and the ruber grip makes it nice to hold.

Quality and Affordability

I have some friends that are "Ghost Hunters" that use this at the old Hospital in the area. It allows them the ability to hold the camera with one hand and other equipment with the other hand easily.

The L-Bracket is light but strong. The slight angle makes it easier to use with my camera.

great for stashing

This flash shoe mount is great for stashing in a camera bag. It is small enough to take anywhere but solid enough you can trust your $ flash will not fall off. NOTE: You will need to use a clamping mount and it will only work for the left side of the camera inless tabs are lowered.

Wish it was a tad longer

Works fine. Strong, lightweight, nice handle grip. My only minor complaint is that I wish it extended longer from the 1/4/20 screw to the "L" portion. My camcorder - a Canon HF-R100 - has a digital screen for a viewfinder. You can't open the screen all the way with the bracket set in a normal, 90-degrees-from-the-camera position. So I had to buy another straight bracket to account for that. And no one else has a longer bracket either, and many camcorders these days have larger screens that won't work with this either. But that's the only real issue - otherwise, I'd realistically give it 4.5 stars.

Useless as flash bracket

In addition to other complaints, when bracket is on the left side of the camera, leaving the right hand for the shutter and other controls, the flash faces backwards.

Wasn't what was pictured/returned

Only wanted bracket for the flash shoes. Wasn't what was picture. I even ordered one for a sample before purchase. Didn't like the new shoes, it was to tight for the flashes also. Picture needs to be changed to reflect change in product.

Needs different mounting

Bracket swings/moves on the camera. It needs another pin or mount point to keep it from moving.

It's a bracket... it's cheap... it works

I bought this mainly for use as my macro rig. Used Adorama's shoe mount ball head for the flash. This bracket serves its purpose well. The grip could be better though (made my own padded cover). If you don't want the camera to turn on the bracket, use an anti-twist plate.... pretty simple.

Ridiculously bad

when attached to camera (20D, 40D), it swings around as though it's not screwed in completely - though it is. This makes it basically useless. Also, one of the screws attaching the top shoe to the bracket is not threaded all the way, making the shoe unusuable (cant fit any flash or other accesory into it). Doesnt anybody try this stuff out before selling it to us?
