Two 1/4"-20 threaded D-ring screws allow easy attachment of your camera and a hot or cold shoe for your flash. A female 1/4"-20 thread on the bottom of the bracket lets you attach the bracket to a tripod, monopod, or other support. Two additional female 1/4"-20 threaded holes on the pivoting arm are available for attaching optional accessories, and two mounting holes on the base plate enable attachment of the optional Custom Brackets AT anti-twist bar.

The bracket's nominal lens-to-flash distance is 11" (30 cm).

Q: 10. I shoot with D750 and primarily 24-120mm f/4G, 50mm 1.8g, 85mm 1.8g along with SB-800 flash/cord. Does this cause any flare? If you bounce the flash upwards on horizontal, do you experience shadows? Also do you experience shadows in vertical position? I use the regular Custom Brackets but want something smaller simply to avoid shadows.

A: I use the Mini-RC with a 24-70 lens. My subjects are usually 6 to 8 feet away.I don't get any flare when using the bracket. But I do get thin hard shadows behind my subjects on any walls or structures behind my subject.
