Can anyone recommend a flash bracket which has enough clearance for the transmitter and can hold an AD200 and reflector or small softbox?

I know this is an old query, but -

I'm using an RRS circular bracket on my 5D. I have the Xpro on my hotshoe, and an AD200 HEAD on top, connected via the Godox head extension to the AD200 main body which is hooked to my belt. (Or velcro'ed to my tripod leg.)

Although not needed for clearance (despite the ridiculous angle that the Xpro sits at) I added a 4" Velo cold shoe rail to the RRS's shoe mount. This lets me pull the AD200 head towards the back of the camera, which makes a big difference in overall balance.

All of the small Godox reflectors fit & have clearance over the camera & lens: The standard reflector, the AD-S17 globe, etc.
The only time I need to slide the head forward is if I want to angle the head up towards the ceiling. In that one scenario, if the head is not slid towards the front of the camera, the Xpro and its ridiculous angle gets in the way.

Also note that much of the time, due to the Xpro's ridiculous angle, I can't actually read the screen, but at least it works.



Did I mention how ridiculous that back angle is?

A little plug and advice.

I used a ProMediaGear flash bracket (Boomerang) for my AD200 and worked perfectly. It’s for sale here as well. Comes with the accessory riser as well that gives it a little more lift.

It's my only camera, unfortunately, so I don't know how I'd manage that.

Maybe I can get it in a mirror shot ....
