Flash Bracket

[Brianbar]

Does anybody know of a flash bracket that offsets the flash to one side only and NOT above the hot shoe.
This is for vertical shots only to reduce as much as possible any shadows.
I already have a Canon Off-Camera Shoe Cord 2. I have a 10D with a 420EX flash.
I tried making my own bracket but it's not working out as I hoped.

A lot of the commercial flash brackets have a pivoting arm that lines the flash up with the centerline of the lens regardless if in portrait or landscape mode. Even my 'Brand X' bracket does that.

I know there was a thread about this a while ago. I'd be curious also as to what people like and don't like and ones that can be used for both portrait and landscape orientations. 8)

I use the Strobroframe Pro-T bracket. It's a flash flip type and relatively light. Other photographers prefer the camera rotating kind, made by Stroboframe and others, but I just think that they are too heavy.

With the Pro-T bracket you'll need the specific antitwist plate and the "hotshoe" flash mounting device. The cork "antitwist" pad that comes with the bracket won't work, plain and simple.

Stroboframe makes the Press-T bracket, which is similar to the Pro-T and a bit cheaper. It might work with a 10D without the BG-ED3 vertical grip. If you do have the BG-ED3 or plan on get one you'll need the Pro-T in order to get the flash directly over the lens (barely) as the Press-T is too small.
