Quick-release interface between camera/flash bracket?

[james_whitcraft]

I get tired of screwing my Nikon F100 onto my Stroboframe "Camera

Flip" bracket (with anti-twist plate). It can be awkward when rushed,

and I fear the screw threads might be stripped over time...

 

There MUST be a way to snap a camera into and out of a flash bracket??

 

(I know Stroboframe makes a "QRC" quick release system (of

questionable durability?) - but in the Strobo catalog it seems to be

for mounting cameras/brackets onto TRIPODS.)

 

Thoughts? Thanks in advance....

Take a look at the Novoflex line and especially the MR. That might be adaptable to your situation. (I like the MR on top of a Gitzo monopod, it's almost exactly the same diameter as the top plate.)

 

Here's the URL to the site and one to a picture of the MR.

James-

 

I used Stroboframe Quick Filp 35 brackets for years. Then, I discovered the Rolls Royce of brackets for the F100 and F5, the Stroboframe Press-T bracket. This bracket is so much better than the Quick Flip, it made me want to cry for not having found it sooner. The compactness, light weight, balance and overal ease of use are wonderful:

With the Press-T bracket, you can use the outstanding Stroboframe Quick Release set:

You will also want to use the antitwist plate for the F100:

Or, if you use the F100 with the MB-15 battery pack, you would buy this antitwist plate:

Obviously, you will be connecting your TTL flash to your camera with a Nikon SC-17 TTL sync cord:

And to keep the flash holder part of that cord from swiveling on the bracket arm, you will want to buy the Stroboframe SC-17 antitwist plate:
