Thank you for choosing a Vello Rotating Flash Bracket. The Vello CB-300
Rotating Flash Bracket accepts SLR and medium format cameras, allowing
you to position a ash directly above the lens in horizontal or vertical
orientation. The adjustable ash shoe is capable of accommodating almost
any portable ash.
The bracket is all metal yet lightweight. It includes a cork pad to prevent
the camera from slipping on the mount. The height of the upright arm of
the bracket is adjustable. There is also a 1/4˝-20 socket for tripod
mounting. Integrated feet allow you to securely set your camera down
mid-session. Please follow the instructions below to get the most out of
your Vello Rotating Flash Bracket.
