I might be doing some events soon and i know i will be needing a flash bracket so i can keep my flash over my lens no matter how my camera is oriented.

Can anyone reccomend one that will fit a camera that has a grip on it?

Price is an issue.

I will be using my 28-75, 50 1.4, and possibly my buddies 70-200 2.8 IS
So please make sure that it will be able to be usable with those lenses.

Your setup is similar to mine. I use CB Digital-T - a rebel with grip fits perfectly on it.

That relates back to my thread that Wilt linked you to.

I just got the Stroboframe Flip Bracket... Works great. I wanted the same thing as you. Fits and works like a dream. And now that I removed the clamp that comes with it and just screwed the off shoe cord to the bracket itself, it feels more sturdy. Curtis N recommended that,

Also links you to what Curtis told me about taking the clamp off.
