(Newbie) Suggestions for Bracket for D70 with SB-800???
Members of this newsgroup in the past suggested I get the D70 & SB-800
and I am VERY satisfied with your past suggestions. I'm am now looking to get a bracket for my Nikon D70 and SB-800 speedlight. Any suggestions of manufacturer/model number and the approximate price is appreciated. I assume I'll also have to get a Nikon cable to connect the D70 with the SB-800. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. |

I would not buy one again because it has no way to keep the frame from rotating around the fixing bolt. The Stroboframe Folding Flip might be better judging from the illustration in the B & H pages in Shutterbug. You should go to your camera store and try these and others to see which one you like. The first one costs about $45, and the second about $70. You will definitely need the Nikon cable. Nikon sells two models. One is just allows you to mount the flash on the bracket. The other also has the light which allows iTTL to work correctly. Your camera store can help you decide which one you need for your purposes. Jim |

I use my SB600 on a bracket, very elderly and no specific make, on my D70. I have the them working in "wireless" mode, and the only thing that does not work is the Auto Zoom on the Flash, and that is no great loss when working indoors. If I was doing wedding work, I would certainly get a bracket which keeps the flash directly above the lens in both Portrait and Landscape orientation. But since I am doing reportage type things, that is not really a problem. Roy G |

I use a Stroboframe Pro-T, which I like better than the Quickflip brackets from the same mfr. It orients the camera with the shutter button on the top in vertical (portrait) orientation, the Quickflip puts the shutter button on the bottom, where some prefer it, but with the weight of the flash on top, I feel it leads to instability, and if you are using a grip, the controls are rendered useless in that mode. The one thing I don't like about it is that it can block access to the battery on my wife's 20D and my 5D without grips, but I don't know where the battery door is on the D70... -- Skip Middleton http://www.shadowcatcherimagery.com |

The light on the newer cable is for the AF assist mechanism. Ronnie |
