Q: 1. can i use for 5dmkiv with 600ex RT?

A: The BBGv2 will work with the 5d4 but requires the battery grip. The BBGv2 is a taller bracket and designed specifically for taller bodied cameras such as the 1Dx2, Nikon D5 etc.... or any DSLR with a Battery Grip. The BBX is our Universal version Boomerang and designed for standard DSLR's, smaller bodied cameras or taller bodied cameras. It's adjustable to accommodate everything. The BBX will have the disconnect pin in the webbing on your thumb and first finger when shooting portrait / vertical. The BBGv2 is not adjustable up / down. The benefit of the BBGv2 with the correct camera is the ability to access the trigger and shutter function buttons conveniently when shooting in portrait / vertical mode. The U shaped design makes this very comfortable and has nothing blocking your fingers. All Boomerangs come complete with a CS2 low profile cold shoe to mount your flash.

Q: 2. How long is the camera base?

A: The ProMediaGear Paparazzi Bracket uses their PBX3 Universal Bracket Plate which is 3.0" / 7.6 cm long. The included bracket piece which can mount on either side would add a bit of length to that.

Q: 3. What are the benefits of putting your flash next to the lens like this?

A: It allows for a very compact camera setup. It also handles better as the weight and center of gravity is lower than when the flash is high up on the camera.

Q: 4. Will my speedlight attach directly to this bracket? Or do I need another item?

A: I use a Yongnuo Speedlite YN600EX-RT II with my Canon 5D Mark IV. What would people recommend I use for a connection between my camera and the flash, with this bracket. I worry that something like the Vello TTL Flash Cord would raise the flash up too much and not really solve the whole, "side shadow in portraits" problem, which I assume this bracket is supposed to solve. Thoughts anyone? Thanks.

Q: 5. Does this include the PBX3 universal bracket plate?

A: Yes! PBX3 bracket is included.

Q: 6. Can this model be also used with a camera that does not have or if I choose not to use the battery grip?

A: No, it would not. According to ProMediaGear, the ProMediaGear BBGV2 Boomerang Flash Bracket (Blue) will NOT work on standard sized DSLRs because the lens will hit the arc on the Boomerang Rotation Bracket. For use with DSLR cameras that do not have a built-in grip or those used without the optional grip, the ProMediaGear BBX Boomerang Flash Bracket with Universal QR Plate (Blue, Right-Handed), B&H # PRBBXPBX3BDB, would be recommended for your usage needs.

Q: 9. I use a Yongnuo Speedlite YN600EX-RT II with my Canon 5D Mark IV. What would people recommend for me to use to connect my flash to the camera using this bracket. I worry that something like the Vello TTL cable will raise up the flash too much and not fix the whole, "side shadow problem," which I assume this bracket is meant to solve to begin with. Thoughts? Thanks!

A: The TTL cable will not raise the flash that much. If you are worried about it being a little out of position because of the cable, or you want greater flexibility, The Yongnuo YN-E3-RT II Wireless Speedlite Transmitter for Canon linked here can be an option. https://bhpho.to/2QNUvJb. This will allow one to place the Flash in any position you want.

Q: 10. Can this be used on the left or right side of the camera?
