The product takes time to get use to if you haven't added extra bulk to your system in the past. Not meant for battery grip would have been nice if the bracket could accommodate the extra 2" to clear the hot-shoe with battery grip. Easily swings position.
I am actually going to try attaching the bracket to my 400mm and my 70-200mm tripod collar to move the flash further up the lens using a better beamer for nature shooting. The Bracket arm acts as a sturdy GRIP helping keep the camera/lens from shaking while hand held.
While connected to your SLR as in the brochure, the flash "off" hot shoe casts a pleasant and less harsh light on your subject, if you use the flash correctly.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
My setup: Pentax K-5 DSLR with Metz 50 AF-1 flash, connected by a Vivitar P-TTL cord.
The folding design makes it easy to put away without taking up too much bag space. Its flip function allows for easy vertical/portrait shots (with the flash always directly above the camera).
Grip is comfortable but durability of foam and of metal hinges remain to be seen, with time.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
I've only use this product a few times since I've had it. But all in all I would rate it very high. This is a great product if you're main goal is for a off-camera shoe. And a great way to get those different light angles.
It folds up into a Tight bundle makes it easy to transport.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
I want to say, it is the best bracket in the word for busy wedding photography.
just be careful, if you have short camera like canon 5D,order short one
or if you have long camera like canon 1D order long one.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
Great for the smaller DSLR user who wants to up their event/wedding shoots, or for other non-slr digitals that have shoe mounts. Very sturdy and folds up slim. On my D60 with an SB-600 and SC-29 sync cord, it raised the flash head approximately 6 inches compared to the flash mounted directly to the D60's hot shoe. Used the rig with diffuser dome at a charity cocktail reception and award dinner. Worked like a charm. Easily springs around for vertical shots. Greatly improved flash glare off eye glasses and shiny skin. Also a good product for using larger focal lengths with lens hoods.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
This flash bracket quickly swings around to put the flash above the camera in both a horizontal and vertical orientation. It is well made and sturdy. I like how it folds up for storage in my camera bag. It is aluminum and a reasonable weight but I still wish it were a bit lighter.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
First time I have used a bracket and I am generally pleased. The quick fold to take portrait shots worked well. The flash loosened up a little after a while and I had to rescuer it. Perhaps I need to tighten the screws that are designed to stop that. I liked the feel and all in all I am a happy camper.

Bracket is a good design. Locking mech's. are sturdy
however the flash bar should lock when flipping it over to take a vertical picture. I like the small compact size when folded up completely.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
I have used this bracket only a few times, but it does the job so far. I am using it with a D90 camera,a SB-600 flash, and a SC-28 cord. No camera battery pack, or anything like that.
On the plus side: Made in the U.S., folds up neatly, light-weight, seems to be sturdy-time will tell.
On the downside: Haven't tried it on any camera besides a D90, may not work too good with a battery pack but I don't own one, need to buy a SC-28 or equivalent cord which will set you back some unless you can rig up a PC cord.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
I'm using it with my Lumix and Leica cameras. Nicely made out of anodized aluminum with brass inserts. Folds up very small, so it can be put in my bag. Very smooth and light.
Raises the flash up a bit higher than my Olympus FL-BK01 Bracket.

Comments about Custom Brackets Folding-S Bracket:
Purchased this product for off-camera flast use. Perfect for that. Previously considered The Right Stuff bracket, which was sturdy but very expensive. Believe that this bracket is just as appropriate for my needs. Can not complain about workmanship or sturdiness. Fits nicely into my camera bag. Easy switching from horizontal to verticle format.

Very solid product and well made. Great accessory to have for close-up shots and portraits.
Wish strobe mount can be locked in vertical position, not a complain but a feature that would make this product even better.
