Was looking at diffrent models, but was wondering which would be better for the 300D. I liked the rotary version...

I use a pro-t, it works well.

Tim, can you please send the link for yours?

I have the Pro-T, too, and it works just great.

There are two basic choices in many permutations, the flash rotator (Quick Flip. Pro-T) and the camera rotator (Pro-RL). I have both types, the Quick Flip and the Pro RL. If you like the flash rotator type, the Newton Flash Rotator www.newtoncamerabrackets.com is very sweet.

Scott,

Would you recommend the Newton Flash Rotator over the QuickFlip or Pro-T ... or would you rank them all about the same? I've been considering getting one, but have no experience with them.

The Newton I feel, is lighter and more appealing then the Stroboframe.
But honestly, these brackets are all made well, though some a little better then others. I think it comes down to how it looks and feels to you. Sometimes I'll order a few different types of a thing from B&H to try them and send back the ones I don't like.

I've got the RL 2000 which is an older version of the Pro-RL. I love mine, it's a little heavy late in the day but does a great job.

Thanks Scott. I'll make a trip to my local camera shop and see if they have any in stock to try out.

I am looking at the Stroboframe Pro-RL and Pro-T. My biggest question is, what is the advantage of having the adjustable range from 11 - 18 inches with the Pro-RL, versus the set 12 inches with the Pro-T? I noticed many are using the Pro-T, so I'm curious about these differences. In what circumstances might I want the adjustable range that the Pro-RL offers?

Raising the flash allows you to drop your shadows lower when you are working close to a background.

Scott,
Which do you like better... rotating the camera or rotating the flash? What are the advantages/disadvantages of each method? I'm trying to figure out which one I would be more comfortable with.

Thanks for that explanation Scott.

Does the Newton DI100FR2 provide very much distance from the lens to the flash? I am now looking into the Newton, but it doesn't appear to offer much clearance. I'm looking for a bracket that will provide the ability to take outdoor portraits and avoid the shadows, so I'm curious if this is a good choice.
