It keeps the flash over the lens at all times, in both landscape and portrait orientations. Positions the flash far enough away from the lens to avoid red-eye. Also is nicely balanced with SLR with battery pack and flash mounted.

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.

This flash bracket is a terrific, useful gadget. I used it professionally with my old work-horse Nikon film cameras and am now using it with my Canon 30D. It does what it's supposed to do: elevates the strobe above the camera and flips to take vertical shots with the strobe over the top of the lens. Like I said, I've owned it for years and it has a whole lot of mileage on it. It looks a bit banged up, but it's still solid and reliable. It also conveniently fits in my Canon 200EG backpack.

The only problem that drives me nuts is the same one another reviewer, R. Shellhamer, has (although it seems to be less of an issue for him/her than it is for me). The damn thing puts the shutter release button on the wrong end of the camera when shooting vertically. It's a royal pain, but can be overcome by removing a few screws, reorienting the mounts, then mounting it backwards on the camera. Really, I don't give much of a rip if the Stroboframe logo faces outward.

At any rate, it's a nifty item that truly improves flash photography. For around $50.00, it's worth owning.

This is a great product, does exactly what it is supposed to do and does it well. It's simple and reasonably inexpensive. Solid feeling on the camera. I picked up this version after a disappointing experience with the folding model.

My only beef is that I have to rotate my camera the "wrong" way for a portrait oriented photo. This puts the shutter release at the bottom instead of the top. It works, but is slightly awkward for me. Not a biggie and it really does help the pictures due to the favorable position of the flash.

Very well made and works well in the field when you are taking shots quickly. I have noticed a better quality of light falling on my subjects with no red eye. I have not had a situation yet to test the shadow of my subject falling further down but it goes to reason if the flash is higher over the lens the shadow would be effected.
