Comments about Stroboframe Stroboframe Pro-RL Flash Bracket:
This contraption seems to have been engineered and constructed like a turn-of-the-century farm implement. It's actually funny to behold. For some odd reason the manufacturor has seen fit to use plastic nuts that cannot be tightened and knobs that spin on their spindle and cannot be loosened. When you get your $3500 worth of camera, flash and cords all screwed on to this thing it give you the same sense of security you'd get riding a lawn chair tied to weather balloon. You simply cannot get everything tightened up. Camera & flash will have to be constantly straightened during extended use. It's a toy.

Comments about Stroboframe Stroboframe Pro-RL Flash Bracket:
I really like the bracket overall. The one thing I think could be better is the locking device. There is some play in the camera when locked in the horizontal position.

I purchased 2 other flash brackets before purchasing this one and i would recommend this one. I use it for wedding and graduation photos and sometimes personal ones as well.

You will get a workout with your arms with this bracket, at least til you get used to it! Other than that, this is one of the best investments I have ever made.

Comments about Stroboframe Stroboframe Pro-RL Flash Bracket:
I use a Nikon D2X. The camera never quite fit right in the vertical position -- I had to remove the foam padding on the handle to get it to fit. It did fit at the highest "stage" setting, but then the camera was always wiggly and unbalanced, unstable. It should work better with a smaller camera -- if you can find a way to keep the plastic nuts tight. They loosen very frequently and then the camera shakes back and forth. Not good for me.

Comments about Stroboframe Stroboframe Pro-RL Flash Bracket:
Met advertising expectations. Flexible solution to variable lighting at reception events. I would like for the fold out stability leg used to balance the system when you set it down on a surface to change out batteries or a flash card to be a little longer - tips over easily.

Comments about Stroboframe Stroboframe Pro-RL Flash Bracket:
USE THIS RIG FOR WEDDINGS CHRISTENINGS ETC. FOR GREAT FLASH DISTRIBUTION IT IS BRILLIANT, THROWING THE FLASH DOWNWARDS CREATING A SHADOW BEHIND AND LOW ON THE SUBJECT, WHICH IS NOT AT ALL DISTRACTING IN THE PHOTOGRAPHS. MUCH BETTER THAN A SIDE FLASH BRACKET REGARDING SHADOWS, ESPECIALLY WHEN SIDE FLASH BRACKET HAS TO BE TURNED TO PORTRAIT MODE.I LOVE THE FACT THAT WHETHER YOU WANT A LANDSCAPE MODE SHOT AND WANT TO CHANGE TO PORTRAIT MODE, ITS A 1 SECOND JOB TO TURN THE CAMERA ON A 45 DEGREE ANGLE AND STILL GET THE FLASH ITSELF TO BE DIRECTLY ABOVE THE CAMERA AND ACHIEVE FANTASTIC RESULTS. THIS RIG IS FANTASTIC. THE ONLY DOWNSIDE TO THIS RIG IS THE FACT THAT AS I AM RIGHT HANDED, LIKE MOST PEOPLE, I HOLD THE BRACKET HANDLE WITH MY LEFT HAND AND USE MY RIGHT HAND TO ZOOM, CHANGE CONTROLS ETC. THE SIDE OF THE BRACKET IS QUITE AT THE FRONT, PARRALEL TO THE LENS MORE AND NOT THE CAMERA BODY, IT CAN BE DIFFICULT AND AWKWARD TO ZOOM AND ACCESS LENS CONTROL BUTTONS, AS THE SIDE OF THE BRACKET ALWAYS SEEMS TO BE IN THE WAY. THATS FOR A 5D WITH 24-105 IS LENS.BUT THATS THE ONLY COMPLAINT. ITS EASY TO HOLD, MAKES THE CAMERA QUITE HEAVY BUT SURPRISINGLY EASY TO HOLD. GET ONE.....THATS WHAT I SAY.
