So far everything is working well. It is easy to set up, adjust, and take down. It also gives plenty of options for where you set the flash. It seems well made and no major issues so far.

The big complaint I have is you can not "lock down" things. For example if you let go of the handle and hold the camera it starts to flip. Also the 10 pin connector leaves a something to be desired. Getting the camera plate off can take 3 hands if you do not have a good place to set the camera down

Overall it works well and is not too bulky to carry around. It could use a few improvements but none of them are major.

Comments about RPS Studio RPS Studio Rotating Flash Bracket with iTTL Cord for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras with 10 Pin Connectors (D100, D200 & D300):

The idea behind this flash bracket is excellent, the manufacturing of
the product however is sub-par. I shoot with a Nikon D300 and the
bracket has a hard time staying in the horizontal position, it keeps wanting to partially rotate to the vertical position. I do not have the
problems that other people have had with the shutter release pin or the
hotshoe pin. My main complaints on this are the fit and finish is weak,
the cords for the hotshoe and shutter release get in the way of the
viewfinder occasionally and there is a severe lack of competent
instructions. This bracket isn't bad for the money, considering the amount of adjustability and control you can obtain from this, and as photographers, we know it's all about the control.

Overall, this bracket is as described, and fits the bill for economy flash brackets. However, some things keep me from rating this highly. 1) the shutter release plug angles directly into the supporting hand for portrait mode. It frequently will work loose and thus you lose some pictures. 2)the shutter release trigger sticks out too far for either my index finger or my thumb. Awkward holding of the petite handle for the big-finger trigger. 3) The screw for said trigger interferes with the release of the bottom extension. Only about 50 thousandths of an inch would clear it up. 4) Most PAINFUL is the tiny point for the flash shoe lock. 18 hours after my first gig with this, my finger still hurts from trying to pull up the pin. I'm going to solder on a pinhead.
