Flip-Flash? and Softbox Kit: Hello! I must give congratulations on your Alzo Flip Bracket. I am a rather skeptical photographer who has more than once been taken in by marketing hype, and have been suckered by "the last flash accessory you will ever need!" type headlines. I have been looking for a long time for a product that will meet my needs in the field. I have been looking for something flexible enough to create many lighting capabilities in different situations. I have tried most items out there, and many gather dust here in a drawer in my studio. From the Tupperware style diffusers, to the snap on conglomerations designed to throw light everywhere, to the brackets that looked like I was looking through a Romper-Room mirror, none have given me the flexibility I have found in your product. The Alzo Flip Bracket is possibly the most useful accessory I have added to my arsenal. The height that I can create between flash and camera is awesome. The flexibility of the system is amazing. I love using the umbrella, and am so happy to be able to use it to create depth in my location photography again! In due course I will add the softbox attachment to add to the system flexibility. The build quality is amazing...lightweight, but as sturdy as I need! I can only issue a heartfelt thanks for enhancing my system! President, Director of Photography
Midwest Photographic Enterprises, Inc. Hello, I just received the ALZO Flip Flash Bracket, Umbrella kit and Flip Flash shutter release for my Canon Rebel XT I ordered last week. I wanted to tell you how impressed I am with it. I've been shooting weddings off-and-on for 25 years. During most of that time I have used [a different kind of bracket]. Since moving from a film camera (Mamiya 645) to an SLR Digital, [that bracket] just didn't feel right in my hands -- kind of out of balance. I was looking for something different, did a Google search, and came upon your site. After spending some time reading about your product, I decided to give it a try. I'm glad I did.
The bracket is well built and has brought "balance" back to my camera set-up. The shutter release works great and the umbrella kit attached easily. Everything was well packed, and got to me in perfect condition. Not only am I satisfied with the bracket, I have just ordered a second one for my daughter, who also shoots weddings. She tried her Canon 20D with the bracket and loved it. Many thanks.
