Stroboframe Stroboflip Flash Accessories

Stroboframe Stroboflip Flash Accessories 

DESCRIPTION

The ultra-compact, "gripless", flash rotating bracket. It cradles the camera unobtrusively while maintaining an over-the-lens flash position with a design that lets you hold the camera rather than a grip, and rotate the flash for horizontal or vertical composition.

Strength:

Compact design, fits DSLRs with or without grips. Flash rotates around lens and keeps everything relatively compact. Takes a day or two to get used to focus and zoom with bracket attached.

Weakness:

Loosens up with use -- a little locktite takes care of the issue.

Major flaw -- support welds on base fail relatively quickly with heavy use. Mine failed in less than three months (others where I work seldom get more than six months before the welds fail). Now it makes popping sounds when I move around.

Great design, ease of use, nice size --- but, poorly constructed.

Strength:

It works exactly as it is designed to. Smooth and easy to go from horizonal to vertical and back again. Keeps everything in a nice compact package.

Weakness:

None that I can think of. In fact, I don't know how it can be improved.

This is a great product! I use it with a Nikon F5, 24-85mm f/2.8-4 Nikkor zoom lens, Nikon SB-28 flash and a Quantum Battery 1+ almost exclusively. The Stroboflip keeps everything together compactly and is alot easier to handle than the bigger and more awkward models,...not that they don't have their place. Very high quality. I've used this one Stroboflip heavily for almost 5 years now with zero problems.

Strength:

SOLID BUILD. ADJUSTABLE. EASY TO USE. FLASH IS ALWAYS ABOVE LENS. THE DESIGN OF THE BRACKET KIND OF PROTECTS THE LENS.

Weakness:

HEAVY!!! WITH FLASH MOUNTED ON FRONT OF BRACKET. HARDER TO CHANGE LENSES. LENSES MUST BE AT LEAST 3".

A VERY PRACTICAL FLASH BRACKET.YOU CAN EASILY FLIP THE FLASH FROM HORIZONTAL TO VERTICAL POSITION JUST BY FLIPPING YOUR WRIST.THE BRACKET IS VERY STRUDY ON CAMERA AND SUPPORTS A LARGE FLASH VERY WELL.FLASH HEIGHT CAN BE ADJUSTED. SLIGHT DIFFICULTY WHEN CHANGING LENSES. NOT MUCH ROOM AROUND THE LENS MOUNT WITH BRACKET ON ALSO USING LENSES UNDER 3" IN LENGTH YOU MAY NOTICE THE FRONT OF THE BRACKET IN YOUR PHOTOS. THE BRACKET PROTECTS THE LENS AND THE FINISH IS VERY DURABLE
