A good flash bracket is a blessing. A poor one can be a source of vexation. Which one did you buy?

'manual mode' means that both your camera shutter and aperture, and also the flash output levels have to EACH be in manual mode! Are you comfortable with that?

While I mostly agree, I must say that I've used a PC cord and connector to be able to use the camera in Av with the flash in M :p

Well the primary difference in that, versus the camera in M, is the fact that one is totally at the mercy of the Canon system being designed to capture ambient light, and that could easily result in shutter speeds of unholdable duration! If you like being at the mercy of this, or you keep an eye on what the camera is going to do to you, or you always use a tripod...Have it your way!  :p
