 A Great Product ! Dec 20, 2005
By P. Chor
Stroboframe Pro-T bracket is very solidly built to last (Made in the USA). Metal is light but durable. It looks like the contructed metal taken from those of aircraft type material. I'm very impressed with the product. I mounted on my Canon EOS 20D. I'm just a start up digital amateur now all of my portrait vertical pictures are like a pro quality. The Pro-T eliminates the shadows on all of my portraits pictures. The bracket mounted fixed to the camera, and I just twist the bar where my flash attached to so that it's always on top of the camera all the time.
I first mounted my EOS camera backward. It didn't look right for the vertical bar was right on the front my face and it unable me to get close to the preview hole of the camera. I thought something is wrong. So I mounted the other way where the PRO-T logo letter faces outward. Then it looks just perfect! This bracket is designed for us to hold to the camera when shooting like you normally would naturally. DO NOT hold the bracket's handle. This bracket comes with a cork adhesive base so that the camera is mounted on this cork. This cork supposed to prevent the camera from twisting. I found out it doesn't work too well so I have to buy the optional Stroboframe Anti-twist plate 300-BE1 (Canon EOS mount). The cost for Anti-twist plate is $12.95. I highly recommend if you have a digital SLR camera Canon, Nikon...etc. Here's my summary:
1)Get the PRO-T
2) Mount it right. PRO-T logo faces outward.
3)Get the Anti-twist plate (Remember-each plate is specific to your camera brand)
I forgot to mention I have the Canon BGE2 the extended Battery Grip. This Pro-T works well with the battery grip.

 Didn't work for me Feb 06, 2009

I had high hopes for this flash bracket. I have a Canon Rebel XSi DSLR with the Canon BG-E5 Battery Grip. The battery grip is great for taking vertical (portrait) shots, but with my Canon Speedlite 580EX II Flash mounted on the camera, shooting in this mode cause the flash to be off to the left side. This bracket mounts so that the vertical bar is to the right side of the camera and the flash is centered over the camera in horizontal mode. The vertical bar is angled forward so you hold the camera as you normally would, not by the bracket. When you want to shoot in vertical mode you flip the flash 90 degrees clockwise and simultaneously rotate the camera 90 degrees counter-clockwise. The flash will again be centered over the camera (although the flash will be vertical instead of horizontal).
Unfortunately, the placement of the bracket makes it impossible to reach the shutter release on the battery grip as it's hidden behind the bracket! Using the shutter release on the battery grip in vertical mode was the primary reason for getting this bracket! The Tiffen/Stroboframe website shows that this bracket is for cameras *with* accessory grips. This may work for other cameras with a battery grip, but it doesn't work for the XSi with the BG-E5.
As others have mentioned, the (optional) Stroboframe Anti-Twist Plate should be considered mandatory.
Another major annoyance: You would expect that the screw that holds the bracket to the camera/battery grip would be a knurled screw that you can easily and quickly turn with your fingers like almost any other device that uses the trip mounting socket. Instead, it's a thin, sharp-edged slotted screw that is captive. You need to use a quarter to tighten this screw. Being captive, it won't get lost, but if you ever strip the screw head, you're SOL, since you can't remove the screw to replace it.
Before you decide to buy this bracket online, stop by your local B&M store with your camera (and battery grip) to see if will work for you.

 Solid overall value and easy to use. Aug 25, 2008
By Chad
I bought this for wedding photography. Very solid construction for this price range. For me the best feature was a the bracket sets up on the right side of the camera so you can hold the camera normally and have access to the cameras direct controls. If you use it often and/or have a heavy camera I would recommend purchasing the non-slip plate. The cork board is good for occational use.
Very easy to flip for vertical shots.

Must for Wedding Photographer Feb 08, 2009
By smthu
If you don't want constant red eyes in your "professional" photos in any darkened receptional hall (they called it "mood lighting" LOL), better get this or some other flash bracket to elevate the flash away from the camera body.
You will also need a remote flash cord, I found a shortened SC-17 cord for my D2X for only $59 and free shipping (do a search), made the whole set-up lighter, and less clumpsy without the extra cable flipping around and getting in the way.
You need an anti-twist plate also, found that my D70 can use both the low profile plates, but my D2X can only use the one with the split "walls".

 You can do better than this Jul 15, 2008
By C. Cunningham
Used it once. Just not a good option. Go to a brick & mortar store and try out different brackets. This one didn't work for me.
