Review on Enhance Your Photography with the Vello Quickdraw Rotating Flash Bracket by Wagner Witlin

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good value but light weight for large rigs

This works as intended and is an economical solution if you need a flash mount. I find that the padding on the handle is not enough and would rather use thicker and denser foam here. I'm also not a fan of the shoe clip mount and prefer the standard shoe glide mount. To be honest I'm trying to use this with a Canon 1DX camera and a 580EX flash. With my lens, that's about 6 pounds of camera and glass. This mount is probably too light for this setup. The camera tends to rotate around the mounting screw when I wear the mount on the side and the top tends to lift when I wear it. I can live with these problems because I rarely wear braces and only wear them for a short time. However, if you have a large setup and are shooting all day (like a wedding), invest in a heavier setup. I think it will work fine with a smaller setup (like a 7D with AA 28-135 and Blitz 430). A very satisfactory mount for the price.

Pros
  • Lower Tripod Mount | Rugged, lightweight aluminum construction
Cons
  • Piggy Bank Price
