Customer Review: Don't bother...
Summary: 2 Stars
The bracket isn't terrible, but it was a waste of money for me. It throws shadows on the wall to the left of my subject because it positions the flash to the left of the lens, rather than directly above the lens, where it should be. Yeah, the flash is placed higher, but I think the drawback of the shadows it creates (by being to the left of the lens) is actually worse than red-eye. You can at least fix red-eye! I didn't realize how much of a problem shadows would be until I bought/used this thing. This was just a bad purchase. I'll be buying a new flash bracket at some point, and throwing this one away. I'll need a hot-shoe cable for any other bracket, so the cable that I bought with this bracket was a waste of money, too. Live and learn.
One good thing I can say about this bracket is that it allows you to remove the handle and manually hold/position the flash away from the camera. That's nice I guess. It's a pain in the a-- to screw the thing on and off though. It should have had a simpler locking/unlocking mechanism.
My advice to others would be to save up for a proper flash bracket, and a hot-shoe cable. Like me, you may find that this bracket creates more problems than it solves, and you may wind up having to buy a different one. So get it right the first time. Don't make my mistake.
