Excellent bracket, easy to rotate and manage. Only problem is the extended supports are not strong enough and can bend. Other thing missing is a cushion support grip where the camera mounts so camera doesn't rotate at all, otherwise very well made bracket for the price.

The Digital Pro E Kit includes the CMP camera mount, which laterally attaches your DSLR to the bracket itself. The non-kit version omits the CMP mount entirely. Note that a tripod mounting plate cannot replace the CMP mount due to the unique lateral mounting configuration to the bracket. That said, the bracket itself contains a tapped 1/4"-20 hole for easy attachment to most tripod heads. I own two of these brackets, and although quite expensive, the quality is vastly superior to any other rotating bracket I have owned. The rotational friction of the ball bearings is perfect. I do like the fact that the camera rotates rather than the flash, which can stress and sometimes even fracture the flash shoe mount due to the rotational mass of the flash. I cannot afford for that to happen in my line of work.

It stands as an exemplary model of innovation and efficiency in the world of photography accessories. The Custom Brackets Digital PRO-E Bracket is renowned for its featherlight construction, making it the most lightweight option among camera rotating brackets. This bracket is an economical alternative within the Custom Brackets range, offering a seamless transition for those upgrading from flash rotating brackets to camera rotating brackets.
Crafted with precision, the Digital PRO-E Bracket is designed to accommodate both digital and 35mm SLR film cameras, ensuring a broad compatibility range for photographers who work with various camera formats. Its rotating arm feature allows for effortless repositioning of the camera, enabling photographers to capture images from multiple angles without the need to detach and reattach the camera.
The bracket's robust and durable build is complemented by its versatility and adjustability, with a design that includes a CMP camera mount for secure lateral attachment of your DSLR. This unique feature distinguishes it from non-kit versions and ensures that a standard tripod mounting plate is not mistakenly used in its place, due to the specialized lateral mounting configuration.
Moreover, the bracket boasts a tapped 1/4"-20 hole, facilitating straightforward attachment to most tripod heads, enhancing its utility and ease of use. The inclusion of high-quality ball bearings ensures a smooth rotation, a critical factor that has been praised by professional photographers who rely on the bracket's stability and precision.
While the Digital PRO-E Bracket is not recommended for use with certain models of Canon Speedlite Transmitters or Metz flashes due to potential infrared signal obstruction, it remains a top choice for photographers seeking a comfortable, sturdy, and adjustable camera bracket. Its construction reflects the reputable craftsmanship of Custom Brackets, a brand synonymous with high-quality camera accessories.
In summary, the Custom Brackets Digital PRO-E Bracket stands out as a durable, versatile, and comfortable choice for photographers who demand the best in camera support and rotation capabilities. Whether capturing the special moments at a wedding or the fast-paced action of a sporting event, this bracket kit is designed to meet the rigorous demands of professional photography.
