Product Description
Quick Flip models offer high value, compact size, lightweight and fast handling. No wonder they're the best-selling brackets on the market! Although lower in price than our top-of-the-line brackets, they share the same quality materials and construction. The Quick Flip 350 accepts all 35mm cameras except those with large, accessory battery packs or motor drives.
Amazon.com Product Description
Stroboframe's Quick Flip flash brackets are compact, lightweight, and handle quickly, making them ideal for casual and professional photographers alike. Although lower in price than the company's top-of-the-line brackets, the Quick Flip 350 shares the same high-quality aluminum construction, which includes a baked-on finish for hard use and durability. The unit's base, meanwhile, is perfect for all 35mm cameras (excepting those with large accessory battery packs or motor drives) and is configured for both eye-level and waist-level viewing. Most importantly, the Quick Flip 350's pivoting flash arm keeps the flash centered above the lens for both horizontal and vertical compositions, helping let in the optimum amount of light. Other details include a machined, positive-locking shoe mount that's interchangeable with an optional handle mount; a high-density neoprene foam side grip for comfortable shooting or carrying; and a nominal lens-to-flash distance of 12 inches. Note that Quick Flip models do not accept camera anti-twist plates. What's in the Box

 An affordable solution. July 17, 2008
I have shot many portraits and weddings with this bracket and have been very satisfied. My setup: Digital Rebel XT (EOS 350D), Canon Speedlite flash with Sto-Fen omnibounce connected by an off-camera shoe cord.
I have never used any other bracket so I can't compare, but this one has always gotten the job done.
Nice entry level frame July 7, 2008
Well made entry level frame. Since I bought this I have seen other nicer frames in use. I'll keep this until one really strikes my fancy.
 It is an ok frame for the money June 5, 2008
When you receive this product you will need to place some thread lock on the screw and the top of the fram. This is the screw that hold the flash sync hotshoe. If you do not fix the screww the flash unit will swival all over the place. Hey Stroboframe-place a lock washer between the screw and the frame. I cannot be the only one that has had problems
 quick flip bracket is right! February 8, 2008

Although this bracket will work, there is a part necessary to attach NIKON cameras that isn't included or mentioned in the description. It can be jury-rigged...but don't tip or your camera will flip!
Much better than expected. January 10, 2008

I purchased this with modest expectations, but it has exceeded them. It is very solidly built and I believe it meets professional standards in that respect. Let me address a few concerns that I know other people have expressed:
Vertical shooting: yes, with this product vertical shooting becomes fairly difficult to the point of effectively ruling it out. However, I shoot vertically about 4 times a year. That's not 4 sessions per year--4 frames. If you are someone who does a lot of vertical shooting then I would recommend steering clear of this item. For me, someone who rarely ever does shoot vertically, this does not bother me at all.
Camera and/or flash coming loose: I have not experienced this issue at all, not even a little bit, not one time. All I did was tighten the bottom screw down fairly tight. I didn't use a pair of pliers to tighten it or anything; just my hand. The camera stays in place perfectly all the time. This may be, however, because I have a Canon battery pack on the bottom of my camera which also has grip to it. I haven't tried mounting the camera directly to the bracket so I don't know if that would cause the slippage issue or not. Anyway, for me this is not an issue at all. Also, in all positions my flash has remained in place as well. My flash is attached to a remote cord so actually it is the remote cord which is screwed down technically speaking, but regardless everything has stayed in place in all positions. I have experienced no issues with anything coming loose. Now, I did just buy this and I have only used it a few times so I can't speak to long-term reliability in this area. If it fails down the road I will come back and revise this review, so if you are reading this then everything is still fine.
If I had a gun to my head and was asked what the shortcomings are with this product, I would say the bottom camera mounting screw is so large that it makes setting the camera down incredibly difficult in any position with this bracket attached. You have to find a soft surface (like carpet or a chair) to set this down when your camera is attached. Setting this down on tabletops or counters will scratch them and your camera might tip over and get scratched or damaged. Also the grip is pretty lacking in ergonomics. Those are really tiny issues that would not stop me from buying or using this item. I mention them just to be thorough.
This is a great bracket and I am very pleased with it. I will likely buy another one or two of them for other cameras that I have.
