ProMediaGear BBX2-PBX3BD Overview

With its adjustable flash arm, the right-handed black ProMediaGear BBX2 Boomerang Flash Bracket fits most DSLR and mirrorless cameras. It features a unique 90° rotating design that allows the flash to remain upright when shooting in either horizontal or vertical orientations, and it folds down for compact carrying. Facilitating the movement from 0 to 90°, rotational bearings help to provide smooth movement and a quick transition between both shooting positions. Also, this right-handed version places the bracket on the right side of the camera for convenient access and control.

A user-supplied compatible flash cord is necessary for operation.

90° rotating design allows flash to remain upright when shooting in both horizontal and vertical orientations.
Rotation bearings provide smooth movement between 0-90° flash positions.
Constructed from CNC precision-machined T6061 aluminum for light weight and rigidity.

Attaches to camera plate using an Arca-type compatible quick release plate.

ProMediaGear BBX2-PBX3BD Reviews

Solid and compact bracket.

By Daniel
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-05-19

This is exactly what I have been looking for. It is solid and well made. The other brackets I have tend to become loose while shooting and flop around at critical moments. Everything on this bracket clicks into place. It takes a bit of practice to fold and unfold it, but it is actually very easy. It doesn't have a quick release attachment for the camera like the BBX2. But, it is still easy to attach and remove, plus the hex key fits into a magnetic slot on the bracket. It's a bit expensive, but I think it will be worth it.

Very mixed feelings about this bracket

By Jay
Rated 2 out of 5

Good: Well built, good horizonatal/vertical control Bad: Very bad placement of tripod screw that needs an allen wrench or screwdriver to adjust or remove from the camera. There is a magnetic slot for allen wrench storage but unless another tool is carried, there is no way to get this wrench out of this slot. Another tool is also needed to remove the screws holding the arm to the camera plate, and no place to store it or the screws. There are too many different sized screws used all over the bracket fo adjustments. The flash plate borders on being too small, thus resulting in the flash falling out if not careful when removing it from that plate. In order to make this $300 bracket suitable and complete, another hundred dollars or so needs to be spent on accessories (such as custom camera plates, a thumb screw instead of that mentioned tripod screw, etc). All in all, a very well built but very poorly engineered bracket that takes nickel and diming in order to get right.

question

How is this different from version I that was discontinued?
Asked by: David
The new one attaches to the base plate with two hex bolts instead of the single locking knob on the old one. The current photos still show the old model.

What hand do you hold the bracket with?

What hand do you hold the bracket with?
Asked by: Brandon
You actually dont hold the bracket while shooting. Just hold the camera and lens the way you normally would. To flip the bracket, PMG recommends reaching across with the left hand, squeezing the release, and then rotating the camera underneath. Works good!

question

Is this a good flash bracket for wildlife photography? Someone recommended it, but I am not sure how it will work with a Better Beamer. Most of the articles I saw had this picture attached to the Gimbal head. I am not sure if it will work as well attached to the camera. Any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated.
Asked by: Anonymous
It gets you farther away from the camera which helps with long lenses, so it will be unlikely to cast a shadow. It is easy to use on a gimbal head since it is a arca plate on the bottom, so it will fit right into any gimbal.

Would this bracket interfere with the articulating screen of the Canon R5?
Asked by: jamal
No, the ProMediaGear Boomberang BBX2 does not interfere with the EOS R5's LCD screen; the arm is positioned in front and on the right of the camera's grip and shouldn't get in your way.

The BBX series of flash bracket: Weight: 15.2 oz - 432 grams (12.7 oz - 361 grams without Plate) The titanium is an anodized process, not actually a titanium arm (silver). The weight is the same on all colors.

question

Will this work with a RRS L Bracket?
Asked by: Kent C.
The BBX Boomerang Flash Bracket comes complete with a Universal Arca Swiss Bracket Plate specifically designed for the Flash Bracket. To use RRS or similar Arca plates and L-Brackets PMG Manufactures a CB60 Clamp that will allow you to use your current plate and lock it into the Arca-Type clamp that will allow the Flash Bracket to install onto the side. You will need to purchase the BBX or BBGv2 Boomerang Flash Bracket and also the CB60 Clamp with BBX mounting pins.
