Hi all, I am looking at buying the battery grip for 20D. I have the quick flip 350 stroboframe bracket. Does anyone know if this will fit my camera with the grip? Thank for any imput!;)

I don't think so - see here (http://www.tiffen.com/Stroboframe_quickflip_page.htm) and read the text on the large image.

It says add two inches too camera with battery grip on, if that therory is right I have enough room, but I saw that page you pointed out. One guy at b&h said it would. Another said it wouldn't ....lmao. Figure the odds. Is this just my luck with opinions or what?...hehehe

I've found that flash brackets are poorly described and documented on the net, and that you'd be much better off trying it yourself, if you're able. If not, buy from B&H, and return the grip if it doesn't fit inside the bracket. Alternately you could always upgrade to the Pro-T, I just ordered one of those myself.

I think Bloo Dog could answer your question, among others, just hope he wanders by the thread :)

I would be impressed if it did. The problem will be with getting the flash far enough off of the lens line (ie your flash mount is not adjustable).

In addition, going to portrait will offset the flash from the lens. Not sure if this really matters though....

I was recommended the Quick Flip but went with the Pro-RL. Glad I did.
