KEY FEATURES
Really Right Stuff flash brackets incorporate our patent pending SNAPTM QR system
for fast mounting and positioning of strobes. The system has two elements that
snap together:
• a SNAP QR adapter that mounts to the bottom of your strobe or accessory.
• a SNAP QR mount that accepts the QR adapter.
1. SNAP QR Adapter — One FA-QR1 adapter is included with
each flash bracket. Adapter mates perfectly with all Canon &
Nikon* strobe cords; may also fit other strobe cords. Install
adapter to bottom of strobe cord.
2. SNAP QR Mount — Allows quick & secure snap-fit for strobes and flash
accessories. To release, press QR latch at back.
3. Tilt Lock Knob — Ergonomic knob drives locking mechanism to hold even the
heaviest strobe in place. Mount delivers 180° of fore-aft tilt.
4. QR Flash Mount — Flash Mount orbits around the lens to quickly reposition
the flash above the lens in either portrait or landscape orientation. Flash
brackets marked “87” accept B87-QRFM flash mounts. Flash brackets marked
“91” accept B91-QRFM flash mounts.
5. Flash Mount Orbit Lock Knob — Rotate clockwise to lock Flash Mount securely
anywhere along Flash Ring.
6. Flash Ring with Detents — Positive position Detents allow Flash Mounts to
be quickly positioned “on the go.” Rings (and Flash Mounts) are reversible.
Choose either fully circular flash rings or half-ring flash brackets.
7. Quick-Release Clamp with QR Lock Knob — Mount Flash Bracket to any
Really Right Stuff lens plate, rail, or replacement foot with double-dovetail
design. In order to use your collared telephoto lens with any Really Right Stuff
clamp or flash bracket, you must fit your lens foot with a quick-release lens
plate, rail, or replacement foot; purchase separately.
* The Nikon SC-29 strobe cord requires the
Really Right Stuff FA-QR29 adapter. Other
strobes may require adapters; check our
website for compatibility.

Using the Portrait Perfect Package
Hold and turn the camera as you would normally. While
changing orientation, simply reach up with your left
hand and push the Flash Mount to the matching detent
along the Flash Ring. Now you’re ready to shoot either
handheld or from your tripod while always
keeping the flash over the barrel of
the lens.
Dual Strobes are Great for Macro
Dual strobes can dramatically affect lighting for macro photography. By using a combination of
flash extenders on multiple Really Right Stuff tilting Flash Mounts, you will have ultimate control
over the distance and angles of your strobes. See our website for more creative solutions for
macro photography.
MAINTENANCE
General Care
The flash bracket is finished with a protective anodize plating that protects it from corrosion and mild
abrasion. It will not protect it from scraping or dropping on rocks, concrete, etc.
Cleaning
Take whatever precautions you can to prevent your flash bracket from getting fouled in mud,
dirt, or sand. Lightly rinse mud or salt water with fresh water and then thoroughly dry. All the
knobs are captive, meaning they cannot come off without damaging them so do not attempt to
remove the knobs. If fine sand/grit fouls the knobs, simply run a gentle stream of water around
the knob while rotating it one-half turn back and forth. Do not disassemble your Flash Mount
for cleaning.
Lubrication
Your Flash Mount is lubricated at the factory and parts that require lubrication are sealed. NO
LUBRICATION IS REQUIRED BYTHE USER. Just keep the components free from contamination
to maintain smooth action.
ACCESSORIES
FA-QR1 & Other Flash Adapters
If you have multiple strobe cords or cold shoe mounts, add additional
FA-QR1 adapters separately. Adapters are also available for Nikon SC-29
strobe cord & R200 strobes and Quantum QFlashes.
B87-QR & B91-QRFM FM Flash Mounts
Mount an accessory or second strobe to your Flash Bracket by
adding another Flash Mount. Add FA-QR2 to mount an accessory;
add FA-QRCS2 to mount a hotshoe strobe.
FA-QRCS2 Cold Shoe
When you’re not going to use a strobe cord
(i.e., trigger the strobe wirelessly or with
a sync cord), add our insulated FA-QRCS2
cold shoe so that you can mount your strobe
directly into the Flash Mount.
FA-QR2 Adapter
Add this flat adapter for mounting accessories
such as microphones, LCD monitors, and other
accessories.
FA-QREX1 & FA-QREX2 Flash Extenders
Telescoping Flash Extenders give your strobes more reach. Extenders
provide anywhere from 4” to 10¼” of additional extension.
Use with Gimbal Heads
The unique orbiting action of our Flash Mount allows our flash bracket to be
used on gimbal heads and side mount action heads such as the Really Right Stuff PG-02 FG and
PG-02 LLR. Can also be used with Wimberley heads, Kirk King Cobra, Jobo, etc.
GUARANTEE
All Really Right Stuff brand products are guaranteed to the original purchaser to
be free of defects in materials or workmanship for five (5) years from the date of
purchase. Products will be repaired or replaced at our option.
