Amazon.com Product Description
The compact Stroboframe Folding Flip bracket has the versatility to accommodate 35mm and most digital cameras, making it a handy addition to Stroboframe's collection of flash rotating brackets. The unit--which eliminates red-eye and softens harsh shadows--boasts an extra-wide base and multiple camera mounting slots, ensuring a wide range of compatibility. At the same time, the bracket is made of the same lightweight, high-quality aluminum as the company's other brackets, so there's no corresponding drop-off in quality. And thanks to the foldable design, photographers can easily carry the bracket in a vest pocket, bag, or purse. Ideal for photojournalists, event photographers, and anyone else who has to work out of his or her camera bag, the Folding Flip bracket measures 8.5 by 3.75 by 3 inches (W x H x D) when folded, offers a nominal lens-to-flash distance of 11.5 inches, and weighs 8.8 ounces.

Nice Bracket - After Alterations.......2007-05-16
After using this bracket the first time, it became very loose and sloppy going from horizontal to vertical. I tightened up the screws and it is working much better now. Keep an adjustable wrench in your camera bag in case you need it.
Stroboframe Folding Flip Flash Bracket Deserves a Zero.......2007-01-05
If I could give this a zero, I would. The first time I used it, I realized what a poorly made product this is. My camera (Canon 20D) would not fit snugly on the base and easily moved around. Then, one of the hinges fell completely apart and I had to search in the carpeting for the small screw holding it together.
Even after putting the hinge back together, the hinges will not operate well. Like the another reviewer said, the concept is great, but it is truly not worth a nickle. I also own the regular Stroboframe Flip Flash Bracket. That works great, and I have gone back to using that. It's just awkward to pack in my camera bag since it doesn't fold up.
Get a Non-Folding Model.......2006-09-06
I don't normally write bad reviews but this product deserves it. The concept is great (see comments later here), but the execution is poor.
My problems all center around the lower hinge point. This is what makes it the "folding" model. Unfortunately, this joint is very weak. I had to tighten the screw several times and it loosened quickly. Even tight, there was excessive play in the joint which is quite unnerving when attached to expensive camera gear. I used it on a digital Rebel, which is not a terribly heavy camera.
Each joint also has a "stop" which releases to allow for the folding. I quickly lost the plastic caps off the screw ends and the stops would occasionally not stop. Not a good thing in a stop.
The final issue I have with this bracket is the configuration of the base. It is not flat but "C" section, probably for strength. The open end of the "C" is downward which precludes the use of my tripod mounting plate. It would fit way to one side, but nowhere near the lens centerline.
The good news in all of this is that I replaced the folding model with the standard model and it is wonderful. Solid at the bottom (no joint) and the flash arm pivot works perfectly. It does a great job of raising the flash off the camera and keeping it above for portrait orientation.
Affordable - perfect solution to portrait redeye.......2005-05-22
The Stroboframe Folding Flip Compact Flash Bracket was a smart purchase for my Canon Digital Rebel. If you are a portrait photographer - you know how important it is to remote your speedlight away from your lens. Redeye is a thing of the past. Hotspots in the subject area are minimized.
Made of light weight aircraft aluminium with a foam padded handgrip (eventually will have to be replaced from wearing out) - the unit has surprising versatility. Swinging from landscape to portrait - a flip bracket enables you keep the speedlight OVER the lens in any situation. Red-eye is GONE in either position.
Accessories you will need with this unit:
1. A Canon remote hotshoe cord. Canon's speedlights synch with the camera's computer thru the hotshoe. This cord extends that functionality to the bracket.
2. Battery grip. Screwing the camera body to the Stroboframe covers the battery access hatch on the digital rebel. The battery grip enables access to both batteries while mounted on the Stroboframe.
3. Stroboframe sells accessories to keep the camera square to the bracket. The padding on mounting rail keeps the camera firmly in place - has made this optional for me (as long as you start with a good square mount and a firm screwdown) unnecessary.
4. Balance with heavy camera, Battery Grip and speedlight (I use either the Canon 420EX or larger 580EX) is surprisingly good.
Problems can be avoided by:
1. Tightening down all mounting screws; camera body, speedlight, and both ends of the hotshoe remote cord. Recheck frequently.
2. Setting-up right the first time. Make sure everyting is square - camera to bracket and in line - camera lens to speedlight position (both portrait and landscape).
3. Going easy on energy when flipping from landscape to portrait - the flip arm is a wonderful feature - don't overdo it! The 580EX is not a glider if flipped off the bracket.
4. Securing the remote cord with tape or clips on the bracket. Avoid the cord getting in the way, being pinched or even pulled out of the hotshoe when flipping the bracket. Keep the cord free of the speedlight battery door - keeps battery changes fast and simple.
This is a great investment for an entry level professional portrait photographer. The lightweight unit is strong and surprisingly comfortable to operate with all the weight I have loaded on it. Shooting with a long length portrait lens - or wide lens hood - I have no worries about dead spots or shadow with this bracket. Used carefully and with frequent checks on speedlight, camera and cord alignment - it gives the desired result every time.

This laser is like a lint trap..........2005-05-23
Usually I like to order many different laser pointers, like a hobby. When I got this one i was filled with excitement by it's shiny outer casing. Unfortunatly, that is the only good thing about it. This laser is like a lint trap, it works until it's filled with junk(the batteries die). Then when you press the button it don't work no mo'.

Big air flow case!.......2007-04-18
This case is not for your average PC user. I say that because the average PC user would never want a case this big! I bought this case because I don't buy computers from box stores. I put togeather my own computers and MOD them so that they don't look like yours! In this case, I needed a computer case with lots of airflow! I needed a case that has enough room for water cooling pipes,120mm fans, and the larger 8800 DX10 cards. I got this model without the side window so that I could cut my own design into the side of the case. The case is easy to ge into and most inportantly no sharp edges to slice your hands on! I say you go for this one! Place it on the floor and it will not bother you that it's two feet long and tall......
