Review 1 of 2

Price Paid:  $55.00 from Nathan Camera - Roya

Summary:

This is a great product! I use it with a Nikon F5, 24-85mm f/2.8-4 Nikkor zoom lens, Nikon SB-28 flash and a Quantum Battery 1+ almost exclusively. The Stroboflip keeps everything together compactly and is alot easier to handle than the bigger and more awkward models,...not that they don't have their place. Very high quality. I've used this one Stroboflip heavily for almost 5 years now with zero problems.

Strengths:

It works exactly as it is designed to. Smooth and easy to go from horizonal to vertical and back again. Keeps everything in a nice compact package.

Weaknesses:

None that I can think of. In fact, I don't know how it can be improved.

Review 2 of 2

Price Paid:  $0.00

Summary:

A VERY PRACTICAL FLASH BRACKET.YOU CAN EASILY FLIP THE FLASH FROM HORIZONTAL TO VERTICAL POSITION JUST BY FLIPPING YOUR WRIST.THE BRACKET IS VERY STRUDY ON CAMERA AND SUPPORTS A LARGE FLASH VERY WELL.FLASH HEIGHT CAN BE ADJUSTED. SLIGHT DIFFICULTY WHEN CHANGING LENSES. NOT MUCH ROOM AROUND THE LENS MOUNT WITH BRACKET ON ALSO USING LENSES UNDER 3" IN LENGTH YOU MAY NOTICE THE FRONT OF THE BRACKET IN YOUR PHOTOS. THE BRACKET PROTECTS THE LENS AND THE FINISH IS VERY DURABLE

Strengths:

SOLID BUILD. ADJUSTABLE. EASY TO USE. FLASH IS ALWAYS ABOVE LENS. THE DESIGN OF THE BRACKET KIND OF PROTECTS THE LENS.

Weaknesses:

HEAVY!!! WITH FLASH MOUNTED ON FRONT OF BRACKET. HARDER TO CHANGE LENSES. LENSES MUST BE AT LEAST 3".
