This bracket works better than I anticipated to get your flash off the camera and above the lens. It provides a nice handhold for a bulky setup also and stays in place relatively well. You can tighten it where the flash doesn't flop over on you too which I wondered whether that would be a problem when I bought it. I got this to take pictures of owls at night and move the flash off the camera and have been impressed with the results.

As a professional photographer I use 1 of these on every camera I own. Perfect and simple, Thanks.

I use this with my digital camera to move the flash unit off the camera. It is exactly what I need.

Bought this from the used department. The frame was good but it was missing the shoe mount that comes with the new version. After purchasing that later I didn't really save any money compared to purchasing it retail. I like the frame. Would recommend, but buy it new, not used.

Repositioning flash helps eliminate 'red eye', allows more versatility on flash position relative to the amera (over, under, left, right) positions including bounce that you cannot achieve with on-camera flash. I shoot right handed so I don't know why someone would say "better for lefties". I've used this frame for 15 years w/o issues. It does not interfere with controls on my Canon gear in any way. It is light and durable weigning only ounces - made from anodized aluminum. Good product for the price. Reduces fatigue especially when I have the 70-200mm 2.8 US L ISM lens with extender. That lens is built like a tank - no plastic there.

Firm and roomy enough for you hands using a camera like Canon XTi. Every tight fit for you hands with a Canon 7D. Will also flex a little when the &D is mounted on it.

Very nice! Inexpensive, reliable solution. I have to use it as a right handed person with the vertical side on the left, but no problem there. Have used it for one year, three weddings, never let me down.

I have owned a QuickFlip 350 for many years and decided to purchase another one for my new flash. I noticed that the foam grip on the newer QuickFlip is not as thick and doe's not fit as snug on the bracket. I found the new bracket with the thin grip difficult to hold onto for any length of time.I paid [$] for this tool and would have been happy to pay $50.50 for a better grip.

Worked great - only wished there was a one hole that was ont threaded. Drilled my own. Used a longer bolts, which allowed the use of one quick disconnect for mounting.

Use for weddings or events when I have to have flash on camera.

I'm right handed and it's a bit tough to shoot with the camera in vertical orientation. You have to rotate the camera the opposite direction from what I'm used to, putting the shutter under the lens. Perhaps with a vertical grip you can put the hinge on the shutter side of the camera and still have room to grip it. If you put the hinge on the shutter side, there's not enough room to comfortably hold the camera with one hand.

Lightweight and versatile at an attractive price. Quick detach of the flash unit gives ability for hand-held flash directing.

Its a fast, easy, portable way to take a normal camera-mounted flash and take off the "deer in the headlights" look.

Haven't used it a lot. I use it on 40d or 50d w/ grip. Can extend bracket up if working w/ battery grip. But when used does is job well. Bracket is stable. Only problem is when vertical shooting with battery grip hard to access vertical shoot button when bracket is on.

The Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 does what it says: gets the flash off the camera and up and over the lens in portrait or landscape mode. It's a bit larger than I would prefer, but perhaps that means it will accommodate a larger camera than mine (Nikon D40x) and a battery pack. I wish it had a quick release rather than a screw to hold the flash mounting plate in place. I have added a screwdriver to my camera bag and will look for a QR mounting plate.

Easy to put on the camera and easier to use. Flip it to keep the flash over the camera when shooting portrait format.

I bought the stroboframe to hold a Canon 580EXII flash up above my Canon 40D camera a little so the flash wouldn't be so direct, plus the frame makes the whole setup more comfortable believe it or not, plus the frame top is hinged and flips over for portrait positioning of the flash too at the side of the camera (very handy).

Has made a huge difference in my photos! Love the bracket. The price outweighs the benefits of this product AND it comes with the cord. That is always a good thing. Don't have to purchase it seperately.

I've seen other pros use it, and wanted to try it out. Love it! The large handle grip makes it easier to handle the camera, lens and flash. Comfortable to shoot with, easy to carry around.

I've had two of them for nearly 20 years. I use them extensively and haven't had any complaints. They do get a bit awkward at time shooting vertical. It gets the flash up high enough to keep the "red eye" problem under control and does help with softening the light if you bounce the flash.

Getting the flash "off-camera" is the most important feature for any photographer. The Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 is a well constructed piece of equipment that will help you capture the moment for any wedding, portrait, family gathering, wheatever. Eliminate the harsh light "In-camera" flashes give and give you subject the flattering light it deserves.

We have used three Stroboframes in our wedding photography. It is a necessity. It is light, reliable, durable, and easy to use. It eliminates unpleasant shadows, putting the shadow behind and below the subject, and gives more detail to faces than on-camera flash. Now, with a new digital Nikon, we may be purchasing a fourth Stroboframe. They are priced low enough to afford one for each camera.

Got it with a kit for the 580EX Canon Flash... I wish I would have researched it a bit more... the handle is a single peice of iron with padding over it... it's not ergonomic and is even uncomfortable when used for extended periods of time...

This is an inexpensive off the camera flash bracket. I modified the unit to accept a Really Right Stuff all purpose miniclamp that will not pivot in order to be used with any Arca Swiss type quick disconnect camera plate. I did not care for the Stroboframe camera plates. This is not a robustly designed unit like a pro RRS wedding use flash bracket. The handle grip is very cheesy, a molded soft foam piece slipped over the metal ell bracket. The arm pivot point should have a stop to make it easy to flp the arm 90 degrees and not go past 90 degrees. You get what you pay for.

I use the Stroboframe Quick Flip 350 to hold an external mic with my Canon ZR900. The bracket is small, the camcorder is small, and my mic is small, so it all makes a nice little, err small, package. It is easily held by the bracket and there's enough room to flip open the lcd and operate the controls. It doesn't hurt that it also works with my DSLR to mount a flash.

Great Bracket
By Russ
The only disappointment is that the Stroboframe camera anti-twist plate (that I bought with it) does not work with this bracket (and it doesn't tell you that anywhere). You have to tighten the camera attach knob very very tight to keep the camera from twisting.
We own three and love them

Quick Flip models offer high value, compact size, light weight and fast handling. No wonder they're the best-selling brackets on the market! Although lower in price than our top-of-the-line brackets, they share the same quality materials and construction. The Quick Flip 350 accepts all 35mm cameras except those with large, accessory battery packs or motor drives.
