Customer Review

The idea behind the Mini RC flash bracket is not only bad. The flash unit is either right above or right above the optical axis, depending on the landscape or portrait mode. The image results are quite pleasing, the shadows bother people shots slightly.

The execution, however, is flawed. The dimensions sid so scarce that one hardly gets a large camera (1Ds) and large flash (600EX) hands between handle and flash. The flash unit is also located too close to the lens. At 24mm focal length (24-105L) one sees the flash head in the upper right corner of the image.

The build quality is moderate. The surfaces are rough, as edited with worn cutters. The anodization is susceptible to scratching. The stop for the hot shoe of the flash cable (eg OC-E3) is too high, so the shoe is not flat on the rail. Overall, disappointing.
