Vello OCS-FAC Reviews

Sturdy and versatile

By Stephen

Even with all the vertical and horizontal adjustments on hot-shoe- mounted flashes, it is still limiting. The source of the flash always emanates from the same position. The Vello Flexible TTL Rod adds maneuverability for creating flattering shadows and highlights. It is also very sturdy in maintaining any position you select.

Much better than I anticipated

Great addition for Macro and off camera flash. more substantial and better constructed than I thought it would be.

What is the payload capacity?

What is the payload capacity?
Asked by: Nicole
Unfortunately, a payload capacity is not listed for the Vello Flexible TTL Rod for Canon, but it is made for on camera flashes that usually weigh in between 300 and 600 grams.

question

A flash bracket is typically quick to rotate from horizontal to portrait mode. Is this too stiff to bend without putting pressure on the camera hotshoe? Thanks.
Asked by: Syed
In a fast moving situation, I agree with the previous comments: use a flash flip bracket. This is a very useful tool (macro work, weird shading for ultra-wide lenses to protect them from flare and stray light, etc.). It is stiff enough to hold flashes, etc., but I wouldn't want to use it without being able to take care in terms of putting excess pressure on a hot shoe. Hot shoes aren't meant for that use, really - they're meant to provide an electrical connection and trigger. Any other use is gravy and or risking your gear. Good luck!
