I bought this to use for some wedding photos. It really helped with shadow and red-eye control. I was impressed with the construction quality and finish as well as the utility. What I was pleasantly surprised by was that, with my 50d, it's additional weight was more than compensated for by the how much easier it made carrying my camera. I found myself using the padded handle to carry my camera 90% of the time. It was well-balanced and the handle was still out of the way when I needed to take photos. When removed from my camera, the bracket fit perfectly in the top of my camera backpack. The price of the anti-twist brackets is my only con.

It's nicely made, but there are a few 'lookouts':
- you almost can't use the D3 or D200 w/ grip attached in the vertical shooting position because base gets in the way
- handle on right means you're always going to wear out your right arm, instead of sharing the load
- the kit comes with a way to attach an SC-28 or SC-29, but it doesn't use a 'captured' screw, so all the parts separate if you want to release the cord and do a few 'strobe-on-a-rope' shots; changeover time is measured in minutes; buy a separate accessory-cold shoe
- Anti-twist-plate accessory from kit does not work on D3, ineffective
- Very slow camera mount time: find a QR clamp and use the Arca standard plate already on your body, and sacrifice the weight of the clamp for the convenience of going 'off-bracket-strobe' at a moment's notice (let's say while shooting a wedding???)
I'm not sure I'd recommend this bracket because of these very functional issues. Paying this amount for what amounts to an outdated or inappropriate design (especially for D3) doesn't seem like the best value.

Comments about Custom Brackets CB Junior Flash Rotating Bracket Kit:
Im not left handed but this bracket feels like it is. I should have realized this from the photo but apparently looked at it backwards. The rotating part lacks a way to lock it in position and a heavy flash like a 580EX won't stay put. The kick stand feature is nice and the build quality seem fine. just needs a little push-button lock or something to keep it from flip flopping.

Comments about Custom Brackets CB Junior Flash Rotating Bracket Kit:
I do a lot of portraits and family photos and want to go between landscape and portrate without shadows on the side of the person/persons. I found that the screw on the flip out foot would back out. I put a drop of Loctite® on the threads and fixed the problem.

I just purchased this bracket and have immediately started using it. The bracket is very sturdy and easy to attach to your camera and flash unit. The adjustable height for the flash unit is awesome!

Portraits
Anytime a flash is required
With the handle on the right side, if you use with a 1D series camera or a camera with a battery pack, thus the camers sets higher, the knob to raise and lower the flash gets in the way of the shutter button. You hit it with your finger. If you don't use a battery pack or a 1D series camera, you should be fine.

Comments about Custom Brackets CB Junior Flash Rotating Bracket Kit:
Having used on camera flash for a long time, I decided to get one of these to keep the flash above the lens for weddings and event photography. I was not prepared for how "unfriendly" it is to use. Once the camera and flash are attached, there's not really a quick way to un-attach. This thing really needs at least a quick release mechanism for the flash w/cord. I may get a cold shoe attachment for future events, so that I can use a radio trigger on my camera for lights and SU-4 mode for my speedlight for some on axis fill.
Other than that, it seems rock solid, and well built.

Comments about Custom Brackets CB Junior Flash Rotating Bracket Kit:
The custom bracket is very well built, sturdy and has the kick stand when setting the camera down. This bracket works extremly well with the Nikon D3 camera contrary to a previous review I read. The twist bracket will work with the Nikon D3. It has to be installed on the back, not the front. I purchased the cord with the infrared...when taking pictures it will be on the subject..this will give you a better photograph. The bracket is also very light, not heavy. The other thing I like is the adjustible bracket to adjust the height of the flash which the others do NOT have.

It's simple to use, compact and has a comfortable grip. Easy to switch to vertical angle with the spring action bracket. I have friends who are professional photographers and they suggested the custom jr bracket and (of course) they were right. It's the perfect camera bracket it meets all my needs.

I was a little unsure of which bracket to get and this one looked like a good place to start. Well build, easy to use and it does the job. A good choice for someone starting out and still learning about the specifics of the flash bracket they want.

The CB Jr Flip Flash Bracket does the Job. I bought the kit to use with my Nikon D80 camera, SB-900 Flash and SC-29 cord. The kit includes the adapters to keep the camera and flash from turning. Works very well for event photography. Only complaint I have is how to pack it in your Camera Bag. Not very easy, so I carry it in an external pouch on the outside of my camera bag.

I have heard complaints about flash brackets being difficult to use, so I was nervous about which one to order. [...] It was very easy to change from vertical to horizontal, and I can adjust the flash height, which is nice. I would definately recommend this product!

Comments about Custom Brackets CB Junior Flash Rotating Bracket Kit:
I use this bracket when shooting indoor sporting events, it helps a lot when shifting from landscape to portrait. I picked this one because the bracket comes up the right side and is offset to allow enough room for my hand - I find the brackets on the left side awkward. It is light weight and not sure how long it will last.

I have been using a Stroboframe for a few years but this bracket is extraordinary in comparison. It's absolutely rock solid and extremely comfortable. I'm using a Nikon D5000 often the 18-200 VR lens and an SB-600 flash. Everything about it will exceed your expectations.

I love this rig. The only option I would like to see is the handle on the other side; however, it works perfectly with the Canon 50d. Plenty of room and the kick stand is nice.
