Great Value, cheap construction
By DaveVerified Purchaser from West Point, Virginia on 4/5/2010
Best Uses:
General Use, Photojournalism

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket for 35mm & Digital SLR Cameras:

This is a very useful product at a good price. Be aware that the thumbscrew consists of a tiny metal nut with a cheap plastic surround. The plastic snapped off the first time I used it. It would have been better to provide a larger metal nut. Other than that minor gripe, I have been more than pleased.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket for 35mm & Digital SLR Cameras:

It was too flimsy to risk using. The "grip" was some black foam that felt it it came from a $29.95 tricycle. It felt like it was as well designed and built as you could get for 99 cents.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket for 35mm & Digital SLR Cameras:

This came as a set and there was no way to attach the flash cord to the bracket, so I had to go out and purchase another screw. Since this came as a full kit, I expected it to be plug and play. The design is a little flimsy and the flash tends to swing around a lot. But, it's a good option for those on a budget.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket for 35mm & Digital SLR Cameras:

The bracket seems very versatile and is light weight. The hot shoe clamp could be designed a little better though. The Clamp works OK, but the one side of the clamp that tightens down on the shoe of the light is a "V" and when tightened seems to make the light slightly tilted. Really not a big deal.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket for 35mm & Digital SLR Cameras:

The wingnut-like fastener on the bottom (that links the bracket to the tripod socket on the camera) broke very quickly, leaving the small-diameter knurled knob. Strengthen the wingnut thing or lose it.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Quick Flip Flash Bracket for 35mm & Digital SLR Cameras:

I've been using this with my Nikon D300 and a Nikon SB800 flash. So far it's been a great attachment to have with me. It's solidly built and flexible with the ability to flip easily between portrait and landscape orientation. It works as advertised.
