I am getting adventurous and wading into the realm of shooting with a Better Beamer and flash bracket. So...a couple of questions for the experienced.
I picked up an RRS WFP-QR folding flash bracket (have not received this yet). I know that the other curved brackets are perhaps a "better" choice, as may be the Wimberley F-1. Thing is...I'd like to be able to use this on my Sidekick-mounted gear and hand-held. The RRS attaches to the camera's L-bracket allowing this. I also want to be able to kayak with it and the ability to fold it up is a factor. The gear is Nikon: a D500, D7200, & D750, primarily with a 300 2.8 VRII, 300PF, and 200-500VR (the three tc's when applicable). Macro may be the next flash adventure, but one thing at a time.
Here are the questions:
1-Will this bracket get the flash (SB-600 at this point) far enough from the lens axis to eliminate red/steel-eye in my subjects?
2-Would I be better off to accept that this was a poor choice, sell it, and grab one of the other two products?
I am a very experience shooter, but with NO flash experience, so feel free to talk to me like I'm five.
Thanks all.
