Comments about Custom Brackets Custom Brackets Digital PRO M Rotating Camera Bracket Kit for Digital & 35mm SLR Film Cameras.:

I do lots of wedding or party type photography and I do take lots of portriat type shots. To avoid shadows the flash needed to remain in the upright position. The device operates very smoothly and it well built. It is very expensive for what it does. I guess I have to eat veggies for few months. The enclosed instructions are very generic and useless. But one can put together the various pieces intuitively.

Comments about Custom Brackets Custom Brackets Digital PRO M Rotating Camera Bracket Kit for Digital & 35mm SLR Film Cameras.:

I have a touch of arthritis, so the left handed grip really helps me support the camera. I feel secure knowing that my flash and camera are not going to end up crashing to the floor (as with less stable brackets.) The swivel/arc allows me to move from horizontal to vertical with great ease, and I especially like that the flash always remains in the same spot, above the camera lense.
I love it and so do my colleagues.

Comments about Custom Brackets Custom Brackets Digital PRO M Rotating Camera Bracket Kit for Digital & 35mm SLR Film Cameras.:

I purchased this camera bracket to replace my worn out stroboframe.This bracket was made with quality materials and has a silky smooth operation. Pros:The flash height is adjustable. Which means, when not in use, you can lower it and store it easily.It has a "foot stand" to support the camera/bracket in an upright position. You can set your camera down without having to lay it down. It's pretty stable too. You can mount the bracket itself to a tripod or monopod. This will keep your camera height consistent regardless of whether or not you're shooting a landscape style shot or a portrait style image. No more adjusting the tripod after you've adjusted the camera orientation. Silky smooth operation.Very solid and professional look and feel to it. Oh, and did I mention the silky smooth operation?!Quick release plates for camera to bracket and bracket to tripod. I had to order the quick release plate for camera to bracket separately though. Now the cons...The price. I did a lot of researching and checked out all the reviews that I could find on this. Although this bracket is probably one of the best you'll find on the market today, it's priced VERY high for what it actually is. I really think the MSRP could have been about half of what they've marked it at and they probably would have made a bigger profit in the long run. But you get what you pay for and if you want a quality, no "herky jerky" movement smooth as silk camera bracket, this is the one. Because of the price tag, I'm finding myself using this more than I did my old stroboframe. The palm grip.This was a thoughtful idea. They put this padded "grip" below the camera lens so that you could support your camera and bracket with your left hand while working the controls of the camera with your right. It works well. It's does provide a better place to support the whole system from. The only problem is that with it there, you can't reach your lens to adjust zoom or focus! My fingers aren't short by any means. I have average sized hands. With this in place, my fingertips can reach the lens and that's about it. Great idea, really. Just poorly placed. I had to take the palm grip off of mine so that I could use the bracket! If it wasn’t' removable, I would have returned the bracket just because of that. If you can't reach your lens, the bracket is useless regardless of how nice it is. Fortunately, for everyone, it's removable. In conclusion, if you're looking for a bracket you can use all day that's built like a tank, operates silky smoothly, looks very professional, consider this one. It's no doubt too expensive for a camera bracket. But again, if you want the top of the line Cadillac of camera brackets this is your bracket. You'll be eating beans and rice for a few months so that you can save the money needed to pay for it.I have no regrets in this purchase and would highly recommend it.[...]Top notch stuff, and it better be for the price.

Untouched in quality,design & forethought. A joy to use. Price way too high. But now that I've used it would pay more. [...]Over all its a great product.I useally buy cheaper & wish I hadn't. For the best go ahead & "bite the billet.
