Default Recommendation for flash bracket

I'm looking for something that can hook my 550EX so that I can take switch between portriats and landscape and still have my flash on the top.

Any recommendations? And also the cost and where to get it.

thanks in advance.

The only ones I am aware of are the Really Right Stuff flash arms. These are INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE - the B87-B portrait package costs USD$350 and you have to buy a L-plate for your camera at USD$150 - totalling USD$500 before shipping!

If someone can recommend a cheaper combo I would be very interested too.

check out the stroboframes:

I have the stroboflip. guess you could order from B&H. www.bhphoto.com

anyone interested if I get the Press-T or Pro-T at $170 and $180 respectively? I'll make some profits to cover transport and effort. But can only get them near end May.

Does the stroboframes allows you to just rotate the camera like the Orbiting Tilt Flash Head from really right stuff? Any way to see it in action on the web?

press T and pro T rotate the flash. there're some that rotate the cameras. Stroboframes used to sell at Cathay but they stopped bringing them in. I got my stroboflip 2nd hand too.

it's seems a bit too long for my camera.... I'll probably just get the Press-T for myself

I'm interested in the pro-T, fits my use... you may like to start a MO in the consumer section.
