The black anodized, CNC-machined aluminum ProMediaGear Universal L-Bracket for DSLR & Mirrorless Camerasfrom ProMediaGear Universal L-Bracket for DSLR & Mirrorless Camerashas a modular design that is composed of an Arca-type bottom and vertical plate. The bracket enables you to switch the camera quickly from a horizontal to a vertical stance without losing the center axis. The offset design of the bracket allows the L-component to slide away to gain access to the camera's ports; at the same time, you can slide the same vertical component forward to have room for the articulating LCD screen to swing out without obstructing the screen.

The included 5/32" Allen wrench, used to loosen or tighten the parts of the bracket, is stored magnetically inside the vertical arm of the plate. Safety stops are located on both the bottom and vertical plates to prevent the camera from sliding out if the clamp is accidentally opened. An integrated camera strap adapter port is also located on the bottom plate, allowing a quick release strap system to be attached. Multiple 1/4"-20 sockets are available on the bracket for accessories, along with a built-in cold shoe at the top of the bracket.

Q: 8. 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.

Thoughts anyone? Thanks.
