I’ve been looking everywhere for this bracket with that exact type of flash, what’s the actual name of the flash and the bracket? I need to purchase this!

I had to order in a custom flash bracket for my d700 as my SB-600 flash started going nuts to the point I thought it would blow up. I chose to go with a flash bracket after reading online there is a problem with d700 design, in that the hot shoe loosens after about 2 years and its very difficult to repair. I was very angry …and then sad … as I’ve only used flash a number of times and it is essential, for my weddings. But I quickly got over my grief when the flash bracket arrived, as it is….. AWESOME! I believe I do look like a knob with it attached to the camera (I’m not used to a bracket yet, even though its smaller then most brackets I have read about) but it works wonderfully!! I suggest if you purchase a Nikon d700, get some sort of flash bracket to keep the flash off the hot shoe and in this case the DiFR2 from Newton. I’m a girl and the instructions were a little wordy but I ended up putting it all together myself, which left me most proud like. My bracket was sent and received within 2 weeks (I’m in Sydney Australia) and I would have no hesitation in contact Mr Newton if I needed help. Best camera accessory I have ever purchased. Thank you Mr Newton.

I read this review and decided to email Mr. Newton to ask him what part numbers would be correct for my newly purchased Nissin D1866 Flash and Nikon D3100 camera. This gentelman responded within 24hrs (as his site said) with his reply and I plan to spend the extra money for his product. I have searched the net for six hours over the past week and cannot find a better bracket for the money. I wanted something compact and well built to hold my rather heafty Nissin Flash.

hi there,

this looks like a great bracket, my only question is will it work with a nikon su-800 flash transmitter? i have an sc-17, but would like less stuff hanging off the rig.

thanks!

Do you don’t glare from the flash being in front on the lens?

I own both the Strobeframe and the Newton brackets. Have used them both shooing film and digital (Bronica ETRS, D100, D40) at weddings for over 15 years. No doubt about it, IMO the Newton runs circles around the Stroboframe. First problem with the Stroboframe, you hold the bracket, not the camera. Where’s the camera controls…on the camera. Second problem, the Stroboframe is relatively tall and top heavy once a flash is mounted.

Granted both brackets are EXTREMELY robust (need to be for the wedding environment), and both brackets accomplish the primary feats of eliminating redeye and background shadows. But for me, the Newton’s advantages of compact size, not being top heavy,and ‘retaining the ergonomics’ of holding the camera in lieu of the bracket makes it the real winner. Unfortunately for most wedding photographers, I don’t think they’re aware of Newton’s brackets. (Use to be marketed by Stroboframe years ago, if I remember correctly). No, I have no association with either company…I just appreciate a remarkable piece of engineering (and manufacturing) when I see it.

Great review, great bracket. I had one way back when, and it worked great. It was a looong time back,I even forgot the name. But I do remember the bracket. Solid, compact, superbly designed and machined, will last forever. does not add much bulk to the camera, and the weight is negligible. You’ll wonder what took you so long…

Glad you like it! So do we. It’s was a long search for the right one. Hopefully we can keep turning you on to the gear that works.
Cheers!

I’m a female photographer with small wrists. I have been avoiding getting a flash bracket as the extra weight on the camera I feared would do me in. Also I hate the way they look on the camera. When I saw the small size of this I decided –this is for me. I looks great on my camera and it doesn’t have my flash way up in the air where I believe it would unbalance things and make it more difficult to handle. I plan on shortening my SC-28 chord as I like things neat and compact. I am beyond happy and so lucky I didn’t buy something else (I almost did because I thought there were no alternatives). I accidently found this article which led me to the website. Thank heavens for my habbit of browsing the web!
