This is a heavy duty bracket that can handle a flash as heavy as the Flahpoint 360 TTL.
It is based on the camera flip mechanism of a Stroboframe bracket but it is bigger and beefier. It can handle a gripped camera with a Flashpoint trigger mounted.
I made it from 1/4 x 1.25" aluminum stock but, was disappointed in that I couldn't bend that material However, I used L brackets and screws to put it together.
The flash is mounted with an Arca Compatible clamp attached to the unit wit a 1/4 x 20 screw. An Arca plate is attached to the top of the bracket and the flash clamps onto the plate. I can adjust the position of the flash or even change the flash altogether.
on SmugmugI have an Arca Plate on the bottom of the bracket allowing me to attach the bracket to a ripod.
Switching from horizontal to vertical camera positions is done with the Camera Flip bracket that I salvaged from a Stroboframe unit.
on SmugmugI also salvaged the wood handle from an old Stroboframe bracket. That is not a necessary requirement but, makes things easier to handle. I can use a modifier such as a small softbox on this heavy duty bracket...
