I use this product for general.
This flashgun is flexible and has variety of possible of flashgun positions.

My only complaint is the housing on the mounting screw is cheap and will strip easily.

Comments about Adorama Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket:

This Flash Bracket was included within an accessory support package for the Canon 430EXII Flash Unit. It is not sufficiently robust for use with my Canon EOSD50, with an 18 - 200 mm lens, and a Canon Speetlite 580EXII. It perhaps may work well with much lighter weight cameras.

Comments about Adorama Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket:

The basic design concept is good. But lack of ability to adjust the arm almost makes this device useless. The tightening screw on the base to attach the unit to the camera broke after the second time I used it. The plastic wing used for tightening broke off with only a knurled top left to tighten which cannot be tightened enough to keep the bracket attached firmly to the camera.

The top arm is tightened by a screw and nut that can be tightened only with a screw driver and wrench which makes it impossible to adjust in the field. Left loose when you turn the camera 90 degrees it will flop down and possibly damage the flash unit attached to it.

The rest of the kit is great and I love the Metz flash unit but this bracket is nearly useless.
