Product Description
Most professional photographers today use SLR digital camera sets that weigh over 4.5lbs (2kg). These cameras have vertical and horizontal hand grips designed for convenient handling, controlling and operating of the equipment. The vertical grip, which contains an extra battery and additional shutter release button, makes shooting in a vertical "portrait" position as comfortable as shooting in the horizontal "landscape" position.
The vertical grip works well until you attach a flash to the camera. As you turn a camera 90 degrees into the "portrait" position, the flash shoots from the side of the object, which results in a highly undesirable side shadow. In this case, re-mounting the flash to the position above the lenses becomes a necessity. There are a number of devices available called "flash brackets" that help solve this problem by repositioning the flash unit every time the camera is rotated for "portrait" shooting. When you mount a "flash bracket" on a camera, it blocks your ability to hold the camera by its vertical grip and blocks the vertical shutter release button. In addition, these fixtures are bulky and add significant weight to the already heavy equipment.
This does not match expectations of photo-journalists and event photographers who have to carry and operate the most sophisticated, expensive and heavy cameras in their hands for hours.
