I have used this on a 5D Mark 2. It does make it a little tricky to manipulate the on/off switch. However, I rarely manipulate that switch when using a flash bracket anyway. I'm still not sure that it is totally necessary for best results from a bracket.

The lip of the plate partially blocks access to the On/Off switch at the lower edge of the camera back. This will be unacceptable to most users (including myself.) Tiffen (Stroboframe) stated to me by phone that this product was not fully tested with the new 5D Mark II. They apparently do not have another plate planned, as camera models "change too quickly.". Consequently, if you must have this plate to use your Stroboframe successfully, you will need to modify the plate by cutting away part of the lip with a grinder or saw.

Mount between camera and Stroboframe bracket camera platform to prevent camera from twisting.
Cameras mounted to flash brackets of any brand, including ours tend to twist or rotate on the camera mounting screw. Cork or rubber friction pads help, but the real solution is to use a camera-specific Anti-Twist (AT) Plate. They act as an interface between the camera and bracket, pin-register to the bracket and conform to the camera's baseplate. This locks the camera to the bracket to prevent twisting. Because there are so many camera configurations, AT Plates are sold separately. Also, because our Anti-Twist Plates are interchangeable, your bracket will never become obsolete when you buy different equipment!
Note: Camera Anti-Twist Plates are not compatible with QuickFlip models.
When using Pro-T or Press-T model brackets with heavier flash units, consider the use of a Camera Anti-Twist Plate mandatory.
