p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Looking for advice on non-bulky flash brackets. | |
I am a freelancer for our local paper, and many of my assignments are of social events. I interchange between portrait and landscape mode (the paper requires some landscape mode images and some are group shots). I primarily shoot with a Nikon D800, an SB800 and a Gary Fong diffuser. For my portrait shots, I simply rotate the flash vertically which still produces some background shadows.
In the past I have used a Newton bracket (too unwieldy) and a Custom Bracket (too heavy). What I am looking for is a bracket that will let me quickly change from portrait to landscape. I also want to stay away from brackets that tend to flop over while the camera is hanging by my side. I always use back-button-focus, and shoot with zooms. Therefore, I need a bracket that is not going to force me to grow a third hand in order to use it comfortably.
Looking forward to getting some suggestions.
