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

2013-11-11T19:00:00

This bracket works great to get my microphone a bit further from the lens to avoid AF noise while filming. It is reasonably sturdy, and very versatile from what I've experienced. The weight is not cumbersome, and it attaches securely. I'm happy with it.

I read reviews where this bracket was loose and didn't hold the flash well. I found the bracket to hold my camera very secure, plenty of room even with a battery grip and the flash pivot seemed stiff and secure. I guess there is always a chance it may loosen up over time from opening and closing a thousand times, heck my eye glasses do that. But a simple tightening should take care of any problem. you can check out my review here; http://youtu.be/f-FUHHr36yY

It works great but, for some people it could be tricky since it does not give you heads up you need some sort of connection between the flash and the camera, whether is wireless or cable. That part was left out. I used wireless but I can see how some people may get it thinking is included. Otherwise is awesome !

Decent Bracket. I don't know when I'll really use it, but it seems very durable.

I use the bracket for PR assignments including portraits and like how it flexes for vertical and horizontal framing. The mounting screw broke off and I had to replace it. Use stronger hardware.

Needs a washer for flash attachment or SB600 keeps spinning around on the mount

This lasted me about 3 hours!! After constantly flipping the bracket back and forth and tightening the set screw several times, it finally had enough and would not stay in place when I flipped it. I used a Canon 580 EX II flash so maybe if you had a smaller flash it might work.

Very poor design. Hard to keep a strobe mounted because it wabbles. Thin bracket with only a screw to change direction. Feels like you will loose the flash no matter how much you try to tighten (that takes time to do with iffy success). Peice of junk.

Very flimsy construction. Mine didn't last me one month before it started to fail!! Constantly lowering and raising it weakened the joint and caused failure. Buy something else but not this.

This is a nice tool for use to elevate or change the flash angle in order to hide shadows etc. or to work for a fill flash, together with another speedlight or macro ring flash. also gives you a nice handle to hold your camara with. I was quite suprised how nice the single friction hinge performed on the swinging arm bracket wish I could use this tech in other applications.

Include a washer to secure flash mount included does not fit flash.

Useful to pull flash off of camera.

Works great for eliminating RED-EYE, and adapts for both horizontal or vertical.

This product is too floppy to use for weddings and general use. The arm that holds the flash moves tooeasily and flops around.

Makes the use of the flash much easier when you change from Landscape to Portrait, and keeping the flash unit where you want it.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Product is sturrdy and does what it's supposed to do. Get the flash up off the camera.

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.

Knob to tighten screw broke with very first turn. Very frustrating. Also, no instructions.

Tried the bracket on the camera after I received it. The knob cracked and broke off as I mounted it on the camera. Otherwise it appears to function well.

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.
