What stroboframe do you use and why?

GerryDavid · May 3, 2013

I want to get a strobo frame for an upcoming wedding, that way I can have the flash a bit higher and have it above the camera while shooting portrait orientation with out having to hand hold. My wedding mentor from 10 years ago had a nice one but I dont remember much about it other than the grip being comfortable and the camera can rotate inside the frame.

Most of the ones I see on amazon or bh dont seem to rotate inside the frame, or is that an accessory you have to buy?

Thanks for the advice!

I have a Quick Flip, but I probably haven't used it in three years.

I bought it because it was inexpensive and did what I wanted it to do...

I have this one
Amazon.com: Stroboframe Camera Flip Flash Bracket: Camera & Photo

It was what was available at the time I needed one.

I have the Stroboframe Press-T. I like it because it's designed so that you don't hold the bracket, but you hold the camera with two hand, just like you would without the bracket.

I use the Pro-T .. for the same reason Big Mike states.... it is just a little larger and gets the flash a little higher. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003BT66SM/ref=wms_ohs_product?ie=UTF8&psc=1

For light and quick this works nice. RF-PRO (Rapid Fire) - Camera Flash Brackets - Products - Custom Brackets

If you want the camera to rotat instead then this was my choice. Digital PRO-M Kit - Camera Flash Brackets - Products - Custom Brackets

Yes they are more expensive but the work flawlessly and will last a lifetime. Check out their whole line.

I have the Pro-RL that I use a couple of times a year. What I like about it is how fast it is to rotate the camera and how far away from the lens axis you can get the flash (including being able to tilt the flash). It's a little buylkier than a couple of the others, but it also works well with the larger 1D bodies or other bodies with the extra battery grip on it.
