Stroboframe • Stroboframe
Stroboframe is the world leader in professional flash bracket innovation. On-camera or side-mounted flash: Flat lighting, harsh shadows and “red-eye” First introduced in 1976 by engineer/photographer Conrad Sloop, Stroboframe flash brackets have evolved over the years into a comprehensive system known for innovative features and outstanding quality. These flash brackets are used by more wedding photographers than any other make. Sloop’s newest Stroboframe brackets offer even more features, to give wedding and specialevents photographers more professional results. Choose from three types of bracket: 1. Camera-Rotating Brackets — The Most Versatile Featuring the original, patented Rotary-Link,™ this family of brackets is made especially for rectangular-format cameras. These brackets allow you to rotate the camera, keeping the flash centered above the lens for both horizontal and vertical compositions. This design permits unlimited flash positioning and aiming. It is also the best bracket for use with a tripod. Rotary-Link brackets are the most versatile of the Stroboframe system. With a Stroboframe bracket: Better lighting, with subdued shadows and no “red-eye” Horizontal “Rotate” Vertical 2. Flash-Rotating Brackets — Compact and Lightweight These brackets rotate the flash, rather than the camera, to keep the flash centered over the lens for horizontal and vertical compositions. They are generally lighter and more compact than the camera-rotating models. You can create truly professional, studio-quality photographs with the Stroboframe flash bracket system. Stroboframe brackets position the flash unit high overhead, eliminating side shadows and “red-eye,” giving you better lighting. With Stroboframe brackets, you’ll produce more natural, flattering photographs that will delight your clients. Superior design, materials and manufacture In designing our brackets, we call upon two decades of our own experience as well as the comments and suggestions of professional photographers. Our products are field-tested before they are introduced. What you get is a proven bracket with features that make photography easier, help you be more productive and deliver superior results. fram e Stroboframe Centered, Overhead Flash...The Key to Professional Lighting Strobo Stroboframe Horizontal “Flip” Vertical 3. Square-Format Brackets — For 6 x 6 Cameras Since square is square, there is no need to rotate the camera or flash. These non-rotating brackets still keep the flash centered over the lens, while allowing the flash unit to be adjusted for tilt and bounce. Square-format brackets work well on a tripod, too. For every camera, for every flash All Stroboframe brackets are supported by a full range of flash mounts, Camera Anti-Twist (“AT”) Plates and quick-release (“QR”) options. Moreover, these accessories are interchangeable for many of the brackets, so that if your needs or equipment change, your Stroboframe system will never become obsolete. Stroboframe brackets are made in the USA. They are constructed of aircraftquality aluminum with baked-on epoxy finishes for long wear. All rotating components feature nylon bearings or inserts. Hand grips are made of either selected American walnut or cushioned, high-density neoprene foam. All Stroboframe products carry a five-year limited warranty without the fine print.

The 50MZ-5 is very bulky for these compact brackets and the combination results in a slight misalignment of the flash and lens axes. We recommend that you use the Pro-RL or Pro-SQ brackets with this flash. Stroboframe • Stroboframe Camera Anti-Twist Plates A Stroboframe Exclusive! Cameras mounted to flash brackets of any brand, including ours, tend to twist or rotate on the camera mounting screw. Cork or rubber friction pads help, but the real solution is to use a camera-specific Anti-Twist (AT) Plate. These plates act as an interface between the camera and bracket. They pin-register to the bracket and conform to the camera’s baseplate. This locks the camera to the bracket to prevent twisting. Anti-Twist Plates are sold separately because there are so many camera configurations. We manufacture different AT Plates to fit virtually any camera. Also, because our Anti-Twist Plates are interchangeable, your bracket will never become obsolete should you buy different equipment! Note: When using Pro-T or Press-T model brackets with heavier flash units, we consider the use of a Camera Anti-Twist Plate mandatory.

Nikon SC-17 camera cord*** 300-C17 Quantum Q-Flash 300-QFL Lumedyne flash heads 300-LUM *** To maintain complete TTL flash function when using Nikon SB-series flash units on our brackets, you must use a Nikon SC-17 cord with this plate, which prevents the SC-17 from twisting. Twisting can cause the flash and lens to be misaligned. * Anti-Twist Plate not needed; cork pad (supplied with all Stroboframe brackets) provides adequate anti-twist prevention. ** For Mamiya 6, 6MF and 7 models, use Pro-T/m bracket, which has a built-in anti-twist feature.
