You might want to take a look at the offerings from Newton Camera Brackets. I currently own two N7200VG brackets, and have been very satisfied with them. They allow the photographer to comfortably hand-hold the camera and use the vertical grip (this is on an EOS 5 and D30 with the respective vertical grips and battery packs). The Newton brackets essentially allow you to use bounce flash regardless of camera orientation. With some of the cheaper flip-brackets, you must adjust the flash after you change the camera orientation if you are using bounce flash. Additionally, the Newton bracket is well-balanced and allow you to hold the camera by the lens if you have a f/2.8 zoom attached. The N7200VG has been replaced by the Di100FRVG. Same bracket, different name. -- John Chennavasin | This article contains material which may inform and [EMAIL PROTECTED] | may be quoted, printed, forwarded, or redistributed www.fobpro.com | as long as the original attribution remains intact. * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
