A flash bracket such as this Olympus FL-BKM03 Twin Flash Bracket attaches to the base of an Olympus E-series camera and provides a platform for a shoe-mount flash away from the camera's hotshoe. When the path of the flash output is too close to the angle of the lens, issues like red-eye, hardened shadows, and flattened light tend to mar otherwise pleasant photos.
As the arm angle and flash position/angle can be freely adjusted, it is possible to enjoy flash shooting using any Zukio digital lens including ultra-wide-angle lenses.
The bracket arm can be folded down for storage or transportation.
Dual-flash macro shooting is possible without interfering with the dual-axis variable LCD monitor - this really comes in handy when macro shooting with free-angle Live View.
When used together with either the Olympus FL-50R or FL-36R electronic flash, a wireless remote dual-flash system is achieved without requiring complicated wiring.
