Flash and bracket recommendation
I have a Canon 5D and have been asked to shoot a wedding for a friend. They like my work they've seen so I agreed. I said I'd do it for a new flash and bracket since I'll need it for the wedding anyway.
Could someone recommend a flash and bracket that is good for wedding work. I figure the Canon 580EX but not sure on the bracket. I've seen them with little umbrellas? Do you recommend that too? I'd like a bracket that can switch to landscape and portrait easily. Thanks for any advice. i'd like to get the equiment fairly soon. __________________

I use and have been using the CB Junior. It's decent and relatively inexpensive.

Re: Flash and bracket recommendation
Thanks Julio for your reply. I've heard good things on the CB Junior and I think I'm going to go with that model. I like the fact that it has adjustable flash height. I'm going with the Canon 580EX and the CB Junior kit with off shoe cord.

Re: Flash and bracket recommendation
I use the CD Junior as well.
The Canon flashes, however, has been the most inconsistent peice of equipment we've ever owned. Canon has a new 580EX II, but I've yet to try it. I'm partial to Metz. |
