Review on Siegelite Stratos Camera Flash Bracket by Joseph Lang

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Only for flashes without hot shoe! Nikon sync cords SC-28 or SC29 are not suitable!

I bought this flash mount at my local camera store. factory sealed. You can't mount Nikon SB series flashes unless you're willing to give up TTL flashes! Only the power cord will work as the unit comes with a hot shoe (perfect for 1970's Vivitar 283 units!) rather than a mounting screw. TTL sync cables connect to your camera via the hot shoe ONLY! The other end attaches to the bracket with a screw. Then you can mount the TTL flash on the hot shoe that you attached to the flash bracket. Nothing can be done against this retro mount from the 1970s! Without attaching the hot shoe to the mount, you can connect the flash to the camera with just a regular PC cable! I returned mine to the dealer a few hours after realizing it would not work with any post 1994 Nikon DSLR! I informed the dealer that this mount must have been designed at least 20 years ago! DO NOT BUY IF YOU HAVE AN OLD CAMERA!
