Useless product - total waste of money

If you are planning to buy a flash bracket, STAY away from this product. This product is NOT worth a dime!! It does not do what it claims to be able to do which is holding two speedlights and a camera. The base of the bracket is too weak that it hardly holds the arms on their own. The arms don't move properly. When trying to adjust the arms, you can actually twist the based of the bracket. B&H is a great place to buy camera gear from, however, I really hope B&H stops selling this product. It's not fair to the customers to have their time wasted looking at this useless product in the search results let alone falling in the trap of purchasing it.

Good Support

This is a good light bracket because it provides strong arm support (for the usual flash heads). It's a bit large at first sight, but the size will be appreciated later in the field.

What shoe cord did they use to achieve the dual TTL light setup in the photo? The shoe cord has a pass through TTL on top?
Asked by: Warren
Off camera shoe cords cannot figure out TTL with two different flashes at two different places at the same time. So it never pass through TTL on top if you have two flashes. In a situation like that it needs to be setup via manual exposure. A cord like this Energizer was used: https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1005408-REG/energizer_ene_ttlu_multi_fit_ttl_flash_cord.html I would recommend using a radio flash trigger and using a flash that has a radio receiver built in. This way you can have two flashes running TTL at the same time and you don't need a cord between them since radio is wireless.
