Digital Flash Bracket with Off Camera Shoe Cord & Remote (3 pin) Control for Canon EOS D Series Digi Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I was getting ready to shoot my nieces wedding and needed and off camera flash bracket. After reading early reviews on this unit I almost passed on it due to what seemed like some missing features.

It seems since the early reviews that RPS has modified the unit.

There are now both Portrait and Landscape orientation slide locks. I have uploaded an image that shows them.

Pros:
Flash is mounted off camera
Long extension for (vertical)for flash (allows use with battery grip mounted)
Quick releasefor removing camera from slide mechanism
Allows use of both on and off camera shutter releases
Flash extension cord can be removed and used independently
Camera locks in both Portrait and Landscape orientations

Cons:
My 50D was always in burst mode with the external shutter release (maybe just my settings)
Unstable if mounted to tripod
No easy way to remove camera and mount to tripod

With this unit, my 50D, a battery grip, and a 580EX II the unit was heavy. I was able to get through an 11 hour wedding shoot (1000+ shots) but my arms felt it when I was done.

If you are looking for an external flash bracket this is an excellent unit. As mentioned previously the cost of the cords alone from CANON justify buying this unit.

Yes, there were no instructions included but it was not at all dificult to figure out (there aren't that many moving pieces).
To pack it up you:
Remove the flash and unplug the remote shutter release
Loosen the screw and slide the camera off the bracket
(optionally remove the plate from the camera)
Loosen the thumbscrew on the flash arm and remove
Depress the slide release and slide mount into portrait orientation
Put parts in the bag (included)
