[QUOTE="yauman, post: 277499, member: 15418"] I shoot events too with the same lens :cool:. With my D7100 and SB700, this brackets gives me a very comfortable and secure grip when I'm walking around. When I'm shooting events in big convention halls where I have no ceiling to bounce my light, the bracket raise the speedlight high enough away from the camera I can strap on one of these [URL="http://www.lumodi.com/"]11" Lumodi Beauty Dishes[/URL] instead of using those mini soft boxes. The bracket have the advantage also of letting me use the pop-up flash as the commander and use CLS in the wireless IR mode with the SB700 set as remote. Then I don't even have to use the SC-29 cord at all. (Doesn't work in the portrait mode as the IR sensor window of the SB700 when laying on it's side is pointing upwards, away from the camera. I can make it work by mounting it backwards and twisting the head all the way around - then I lose the SB700 focus assist - it's pointing to my forehead instead!!!) [/QUOTE]
