Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Stroboframe Camera Flip Flash Bracket
Customer Review: Crude and Pricey, But Still Useful
Summary: 4 Stars
Been wanting to get something like this for a long time, but always bucked at the cost. Finally bit the bullet and I will definitely find this useful for weddings, hoping to minimise ugly side shadows. Haven't found it necessary to flip the flash as well, so the fixed flash position is fine for me. In other words, prefer this to the Quick Flip.
It is, though, too expensive. I paid 66 GBP for this, but it's really a very unsophisticated piece of equipment, and 15 quid would be plenty. It consists of about 5 pieces of black-painted aluminium, a few nuts and bolts, and some cheap foam for the grip. Plus a stick-on cork base if you don't intend to purchase an anti-twist plate. Not terribly refined. Sturdy enough, but the nylon nuts intended for additional tightening of the rotating plate are useless and wouldn't tighten at all; just kept going round. Fixed problem by replacing with ordinary metal nuts; wingnuts would be better, avoiding the need to keep a spanner handy.
For my combo of Nikon D70, SB-800 and SC-29 cable, the supplied flash mount was of no use, and I had to obtain an ordinary Hama camera retaining screw to fix the base of the flash end of the SC-29 cable to the top of the bracket. Only a couple of dollars, but it's a shame they couldn't chuck this in for free.
Surprised also that there is virtually no means to adjust for different cameras. It's a universal appliance and, if you've not had a chance to try before you buy, you have to hope that your camera will line up ok for the portrait position. In horizontal position, assuming your lens sits directly over the tripod screw, no problem. But flipping to portrait position, it just so happens that everything lines up *ALMOST* central for the D70, but what about other cameras? There are extra holes in the frame for moving the flash from side to side, but that then screws up your horizontal camera position. Haven't really tested it yet, but I assume normal flash coverage allows for a greater tolerance than I am anticipating but, again, for this money I would expect the ability to adjust more accurately.
Description of Stroboframe Camera Flip Flash Bracket
Compact, lightweight bracket at a very affordable price which flips the camera body itself. Best for cameras without large add-on accessory motor drives. Comes complete with a machined, shoe-type flash mount. Net Weight: 15.4 oz. Bracket Height: 9.5 Nominal Lens-to-Flash Distance: 12The Stroboframe Camera Flip is a compact, lightweight flash bracket designed for cameras without large, add-on accessory motor drives. The affordable unit sports Stroboframe's low-profile Rotary-Link system, which lets you turn your camera from horizontal to vertical with a flick of the wrist while still keeping the flash centered above the lens. As a result, your photos will receive optimum light regardless of the camera's orientation. On the side sits a cushioned neoprene foam grip that's comfortable for both shooting and carrying. And thanks to the Camera Flip's compact chassis, the bracket stuffs conveniently in most camera bags, making it ideal for traveling. The Camera Flip--which offers a nominal lens-to-flash distance of 12 inches and comes with a machined, positive-locking shoe mount--is backed by a five-year warranty.
