A simple, effective, and versatile bracket for close-up lighting applications, the CB-900 Flexible Macro Flash Bracket from Vello features an L-shaped design with a flexible arm for positioning a flash closer to the subject. The arm is padded for a comfortable grip and incorporates a cold shoe on top to accept shoe-mounted speedlights or video lights. The straight base features an Arca-style design for a seamless fit within Arca-style tripod heads, and a 1/4"-20 stud with D-ring is included for securely attaching your camera to the bracket. The plate also has a rubberized top surface to prevent your camera from slipping during use.

Could I replace the cold shoe with a mini-ballhead?
Yes you can. The Vello CB-900 Flexible Macro Flash Bracket’s cold shoe is attached via a ¼ 20 screw stud and is easily removed. Any ballhead like the Oben BD-02 BH #OBBD02 that can accept a ¼ 20 screw can be attached.

question
How heavy a flash will the arm hold and maintain its placement?
I use the CB-900 flexible bracket for macro photography with a Canon 430EX III-RT mounted with a Lastolite Easybox Micro light modifier. The arm easily holds this load. It is sturdy and well build, except for the flash cold shoe and the camera mounting screw (both of inferior quality).

question
Off a tripod...Is the flexible grip sturdy/stiff enough to handhold a camera by this grip like a typical L bracket? Or do I need to hold on to the camera also?
Thanks... Back in the day a good flash was attached on an L bracket via the big handle attached to the flash head (only cheapie flashes went on the shoe, and we carried our SLR by the flash handle but often detached the flash to move the flash away from the camera. It was a great set up...Im looking to recreate that...May be old fashioned but was actually very ergonomic.
