Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Stroboframe's Quick Flip flash brackets are compact, lightweight, and handle quickly, making them ideal for casual and professional photographers alike. Although lower in price than the company's top-of-the-line brackets, the Quick Flip 350 shares the same high-quality aluminum construction, which includes a baked-on finish for hard use and durability. The unit's base, meanwhile, is perfect for all 35mm cameras (excepting those with large accessory battery packs or motor drives) and is configured for both eye-level and waist-level viewing. Most importantly, the Quick Flip 350's pivoting flash arm keeps the flash centered above the lens for both horizontal and vertical compositions, helping let in the optimum amount of light. Other details include a machined, positive-locking shoe mount that's interchangeable with an optional handle mount; a high-density neoprene foam side grip for comfortable shooting or carrying; and a nominal lens-to-flash distance of 12 inches. Note that Quick Flip models do not accept camera anti-twist plates.

Dissatisfied .......2007-12-29

Supposed to be a "universal" item. My remote flash falls off every time I flip the frame for vertical photographs.

A somewhat crude but effective accessory.......2007-12-24

I needed a bracket to get the flash off of my camera and help control redeye and shadows. Stroboframe is a brand that has been around for ages and has stood the test of time, so I figured I'd give their product a try.

The bracket is very functional and is made of durable materials. The only exceptions might be the foam hand grip and the thumbscrew for mounting the camera. The grip does not seem like it will last. Fortunately, it is replaceable. The thumbscrew has been fine so far. My observation is purely subjective.

One thing the description does not say is that the mounting shoe that is included can be removed, allowing you to mount the shoe end of a dedicated TTL off camera cable. This is very helpful.

The only thing that really bugs me about this bracket is the general lack of good industrial design. It's not very ergonomic, and it could look much better than it does. Also, the edges could have been more carefully milled or finished. They are pretty rough.

85% perfect! 15% imperfect - 100% I don't care.......2007-12-22

The problem with this is that with the Nikon D200 and the battery pack, you can't place whatever flash you're attaching it to to the center of the camera. You have to mount it slightly off center.

The difference is about an inch or an inch and a half. To me, that is insignificant. What is more important to me as a photographer is the fact that I will get extended flash. It's not perfect, no. (What in life is perfect, anyway?)

I give this a 9.5 out of 10. It's a great product, highly customizable and easy to work with your Nikon.

As long as you understand this, you will not be disappointed.

For people who look for similar solutions simplest, effective and cheapest solution.

I found a solution to commonly reported problems with this product.......2006-12-25

I found the same problem that other users of this product experienced. Particularly the issue of the shutter release being at the bottom of the camera when composing a portrait oriented shot. I found a stroboframe flash bracket that rotates the camera counter clockwise within the flash bracket instead of flipping the flash. This leaves the shutter release at the top of the camera and also alleviated the other problem of speed light hot shoe breakage from repeated "flipping" of the flash that some other users have reported. The item is manufactured by Stroboframe and can be found at an ebay store called "Gadget Infinity" under the listing title of "Flash Bracket with 90 degrees Camera Rotate feature". Buy it now price is $29.99. I just bought one and it arrived yesterday and I could not be happier. Pass the word of this ingenious new product that will solve the issues that have plagued photographers for the past several years.

Product Description

Quick Flip models offer high value, compact size, light weight and fast handling. No wonder they're the best-selling brackets on the market! Although lower in price than our top-of-the-line brackets, they share the same quality materials and construction. The Quick Flip 350 accepts all 35mm cameras except those with large, accessory battery packs or motor drives. Adorama Off-Camera iTTL Coiled Flash Cord (3-Ft Max) for Nikon Cameras These off-camera TTL cords are significantly less expensive than the cords available by the camera/flash manufacturer. With a 3 foot coiled cord and a male flash shoe on the bottom of the connector for the flash, these cords were designed to allow most better flash brackets that have a flash accessory shoe to mount either a flash or a TTL cord.

Works GREAT!.......2007-12-24

The quick flip is good. Very sturdy and easy to use. The cord by adorama is good as well. Doesn't seem flimsy and is quite sturdy. The fit on my elan 7ne (yes i still shoot film) and 430ex is nothing less than perfect and ETTL-II shot all the way. I would buy it again but then i don't think i would need to because it's going to last me a while. Next would be pocket wizards for me.

Flawless performance.......2007-09-10

This set works perfectly with my 20D and 430EX. I have no sync issues, even when playing with before and after the curtain bursts. I had no idea how important getting the flash up off the camera and flipping it when turing the camera could be until I used it. The results were great. I don't use a battery grip, so I don't know how the added camera height will affect the performance. But it is a great value, even if you have to sacrafice the grip.

TTL cord is stuck on my camera!.......2007-05-30

I bought the flash cord for my Nikon D100 and now I cannot get it to come off the camera. Another user had to use a hammer to remove it, but I'm too afraid to do that. Anyone have any suggestions?

GReat item. Flips easily and makes using my Digital Camera a breeze

Nikon Flash Bracket and Flash Cord.......2007-05-12

The bracket is nice and solid. It is a little heavy but is workable. I like it. The cord, however, is defective... It has bad or lose wiring making the flash fire intermittantly both on its own(!)and with shutter release, very annoying. I bought a second cord from a different source and the new one worked fine.

Bracket is great, hot shoe cord could use some work........2007-04-11

I love the bracket. It is going to be great for weddings. The hot shoe on the TTL flash cord however seems to be cheaply made. It was so tight on my camera that I had to use a hammer to remove it the first time (let me tell you, that was scary!). And now I'm afraid to put it back on my camera.
