I have this bracket for about month and still find it little hard to use. First, the bracket itself is heavy. The grip, if mounted by instructions, comes to the right side of camera (looking from behind) and I don't know what is the purpose of that. Normally, you need right hand on camera by release button all the time. If it was on the left side, you still need your left hand on the lens to zoom or sometimes help focusing, but I think, it would feel a little better. At least, when you finish zooming/focusing, you can grab the grip help with balance and hold the whole thing much steadier when pressing the release button. I tried to mount camera the other way, but then the grip comes to left side behind the body which makes really hard to get to the viewfinder, especially for vertical shots.
Other than that, bracket is built really good and with a little anti-twist adapters feels sturdy and compact. Flash is centered exactly over lens in horizontal and vertical position etc... This is my first bracket and I am not sure if I am doing something wrong or just need some more time to use to it. What are your opinions on this bracket and did anybody try some kind of modification with success?
