Stroboframe Bracket - Camera FlipStrengths: Affordable, easy to operate, fits my camera well Weakness: very tight movement upon arrival, sub standard build quality This is in my opinion the best camera rotating bracket for the money. It performs very well (although I had to adjust the tension of the nuts) My only complaint is the handle. 91% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Stroboframe Bracket - Camera FlipStrengths: Sturdy, Simple Weakness: A little awkward to use. It barely works with my particular camera (Nikon 5400). It's not particularly ergonomic, but it accomplishes the task. I don't think you'll find anything better for less money. I had to get used to the balance of the whole contraption, but I acheived the desired lighting effects. The shoe that holds the flash could be more robust, and I think that feature can be improved, but so far, so good. 83% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Stroboframe Bracket - Camera FlipStrengths: None. Weakness: Body design, price, grip. Rotating the camera is very difficult. Also, the arm/hinge where it rotates it very obtrusive when trying to access several buttons on the camera. 64% of readers found this review helpful. Did you find it helpful or unhelpful? Top

Good Steardy Bracket that gets the job does at a...Strengths: 1. Good built 2. Light Weight Weakness: 1. The camera flip mechanism might become lose (due to plastic hardware) and might need to be tightened This is a good starter bracket which flips the camera and not the flash. It is not a good idea to flip the flash as the hot shoe might break off. This bracket is a good starter bracket, it gets the job done. Some people have said that their mechanism became lose and the camera would flip while taking the picture. I have had this bracket for about 3 weeks, it has been working fine for me (so far). However, I can foresee that it might become lose at a later date as some of the hardware is not top quality. The bracket has a nice foam handle which is gives a comfortable secure grip. You can also buy a quick disconnect kit for this bracket (More $$ !). You can get it for about $70, which is though high for a piece of metal, is still reasonable considering what you can end up paying for other professional brackets.

Great Inexpensive Frame
Strengths: Camera flip on the cheap Flash stays in line with the lens Gets flash further away from the lens (reduces red eye)
Weakness: Flip mechanism may be too stiff or loose for your taste (adjustable)
This is a wonderful, inexpensive flash bracket that allows you to flip your camera while still keeping the mounted flash pointing vertically. If you add a ballhead and second flash hotshoe adapter, you can point your flash much closer to the front of the lens, allowing for macro shots using a standard flash (a softbox would be recommended though). The camera flip mechanism came perfectly tuned for my tastes - not too loose but still allowing for easy flipping. The grip is comfortable and the bracket is not too heavy.
