Custom Brackets Launch New Folding Brackets

January 14, 2010 | Zoltan Arva-Toth | Accessories | Comment |

Flaghead Photographic has announced the availability of two new folding brackets from Custom Brackets. The CBFolding-T and CBFolding-S are designed to keep the flash well above the camera and lens, regardless of camera orientation, ensuring that shadows disappear down behind the subject and red-eyes are avoided. The CBFolding-T bracket accommodates tall cameras, or those with add-on vertical grips/battery packs. Boasting an easy-to-use, spring-loaded flash flip and suited for both right- and left-handed photographers, the CBFolding-S is built to accommodate smaller cameras, or those without add-on vertical grips.  The CBFolding-T and CBFolding-S are available from Flaghead for £58 and £54, respectively.
