Questions & Answers

Shopper : How do you attach a Nikon SC 28 or 29 to this unit? The mounting screw is not long enoughRAYMOND L : It fits to any camera. My EOS 5D my Nikon Coolpix P7000 and even my small Canon SX210 all of them fits in it. I can mount also to my Beike tripod. It is strong enough to hold big camera like my EOS 5dGRANT/ VALERIE M : I use mine on a Nikon D70 and D7000 and I don't have any problems.
Shopper : If I use this with my Nikon D800 and Nikon SB600 Flash will I need a flash cord also?EUGENE L : Yes you will need to purchase an off camera flash cord to use with this bracket.MIKE G : Yes, you will need cord to connect flash and cameraARMEDA L : Yes or you can also use a wireless trigger & receiverKEITH W : Yes it will and you will need a cord.BRENT Y : As far as I know any camera/flash combo needs a flash cord or wireless activation - if your flash operates off-camera without a cord in an equivalent position, it'll work, but most don't without a radio trigger or cord.NATHAN K : I'm not too familiar with the Nikon lineup. I primarily use the sony lineup of DSLR cameras. I suppose you could go with a wireless flash setup, if your camera is equipped with it. I did purchase a flash cord when I bought the flip bracket. Anytime I use the flip bracket, I always use the flash cord. I'm afraid that if i open up my built in flash on the camera, I could strike it on the frame of the bracket and damage it. So, I choose to use the external flash with a flash cord mounted to the hot shoe of the camera. hope this helps answer your question.JAY T : This bracket started to fall apart after using it on a couple weddings. The foam pad handle torn after a few uses, and I had to rap it with duck tape. The screws at the bottom would constantly loosen, and after a while the treading was stripped. I would not recommend this to anyone.
Shopper : Will this work with Nikon D5100?NATHAN K : I have never owned a nikon. My lineup of camera equipment is all sony. however, i would assume that the flip flash bracket would work on your nikon. my guess is the mounting point is universal with all cameras, as tripods are universal with most cameras with the same style mounting point. i hope this helps.THEODULE T : Yes it will !GLORIA T : Yes, it should. I have 5 of these and use them on my Nikon D80, D200, D300, D7000, and have used on my old film cameras, N80's. I absolutely love this bracket because your camera actually flips instead of the flash flipping. Once you buy this, you will wish you had this all along. It screws to the bottom of your camera and basically any camera will fit on it. Buy and enjoy but don't forget the cables to go with it. ThanksCRAIG G : It will work with just about any SLR or DSLR including the D5100. You can pivot the camera from horizontal to vertical and the flash stays centered over the lens. Works great for me.ROBERT P : Yes this will work with the D5100. I have the D300 and it works great.!!!MICHAEL V : Yes these brackets are Unversal and will fit almost all DSLR cameras. If the camera has an optional battery grip installed it may not pivot properly.

I think it's great but cost more.

This Bracket is the very same as an older Bracket i have made by Stroboframe. I guess Flash Point must have brought out Stroboframe it is the same but cost more money. I think it's great but cost more.

One step better

For the money this is good, I would like the tilt not to tilt so easy but it is not hard to control once you use it.

Flashpoint Camera "Flip" Flash Bracket

Intend to use periodically when external flash head is required. It works as designed and would be even better if not for the negative comment below given my current camera and usual set-up. My preferred setup is my Nikon D300s with the accessory Nikon motor drive attached since the additional controls allow for more comfortable shooting posture when shooting portrait vice landscape captures. Problem being, with the motor drive attached, the framework of the bracket assembly interferes with the flash connector for flash cord utilization on the top of the camera when flipped for portrait captures.

Pretty good, great deal!

This was the first bracket I have ever bought. I was looking for a bracket to use when I shoot weddings and other events to get rid of harsh shadows from my flash being turned with the camera. I was not looking to spend a whole lot of money, but wanted something that would work well. I have only shot one wedding with this bracket so far and for the most part I was pleased with how well it worked. It is pretty easy to switch from vertical to horizontal and the normal harsh shadows I usually get were nowhere to be seen! My only complaint would be the mount for the camera...it would not screw in super-tight so the camera would shift a little from time to time. Also, make sure your camera and flash have remote capabilites, otherwise you will need an off-camera flash cord in order for your flash to go off. All-in-all, it is a great deal and I think it is a great bracket to start out with until I can afford a custom one!

It works, but too awkward for me

I wanted to use this to raise the flash off the camera, and this does the trick. But it's heavy, and it makes it too hard for me to hold the camera in a stable fashion.

Gets the job done.

I fortunately don't shoot a lot of "running gun" projects like weddings, but when I have to, this thing fills the niche for getting strobe reflection up out of people's glasses for a very reasonable price. If I was doing weddings full time, I'd opt for something a lot sturdier and easier to use in a horizontal and vertical positions.

Does the Job

Used for a wedding & worked fine. Not perfect but does what I expected. Luckily, I was able to pick it up in person @ retail store & check it out as 1st box was missing the attachment screw & next one the screw was too long & my camera wouldn't attach securely. But next 1 was fine. Used with a Nikon F-100 & a Vivitar 283 with 3 foot sync cord as the 1 foot cord can work but is cutting it a bit close. Doesn't stand securely if you put it down so be careful. Can't comment on the durability as I've only used it once but so far so good. Reasonably priced compared to other brackets.

convenient bracket without battery grip

It has good design for turning camera up or side way, but too small for camera with battery grip.

Basic and productive

I shoot my daughters showing animals at fairs. I really got tired of fixing red eye or holding my SB900 with my second hand. Every bracket I saw was $+. This bracket seemed pretty good and the price was right. I bought a Pearstone cable to go from the hotshoe to the top of the bracket for I think around $. This is a killer combination and I have used it 3 times since I bought it and it worked great. I have put by D7000 on it with and without the MB-D11 battery grip. No more red eye for this guy.

I am happy with this product.

This product will work in any SLR camera, but be sure to get the right flash cable that is appropriate for your camera. I have EOS 5D camera and 580EX flash and I got the right cable. People will impress and tells you that you are a pro. It is very light and easy to change position from landscape to portrait.

Am I happy? Well, it depends...

I have used grip for 2 weddings since I received it. It is great for getting decent vertical flash shots. Changing between vertical and horizontal is a little awkward but you get used to it. My biggest complaint is that there is no way to "lock" the flip bracket. This means that you may be holding your camera only and the bracket starts flipping when you might not want it to. I have learned to keep my wrist under the bracket to try and prevent that. For the money, I'm very happy. I have been getting some great results from using it. More expensive models might give you more control over the flip mechanism. On a budget, I would recommend this. Please note though, you cannot have a battery grip attached to your camera or a full-size body like a Canon 1D series (with built in grip).
