ALZO Flip Flash ® Bracket Softbox Kit - Achieve studio quality images with your Portable Flash Speedlight - for all DSLR - Requires Shoe Mount Adaptor for NIKON SB-900* - by alzodigital.com Review

I am glad I took a chance on a new seller as there was not any feedback for ALZO on Amazon when I was researching which kit to purchase. Free shipping was included, and I had the kit within a few days.I am very pleased with this product. It is sturdy yet lightweight for its size. I was worried about the quality for the price, but this will work perfect for portrait and wedding shoots.I have tried a few different types of flash brackets but have not been happy with the weight, quality or design of any of them. However, this one is perfect. You can not beat the price for everything that is included in this kit.Even though it was not all listed, included is storage pouches for everything:the softbox, the softbox connector hardware, a connector with two hot shoes and the very conveniently made telescoping flip bracket itself.For every other seller I researched, you have to at least buy the softbox connector hardware separately for $25-$30 extra.Putting the kit all together, it would seem like it would be too bulky and awkward to use, but I am not having any trouble getting used to it. Even attaching my 30D with a battery grip on it, it flips horizontally and vertically without a hitch.

Nikon SB-400 TTL AF Shoe Mount Speedlight, USA Warranty, Basic Outfit with 4 NiMH Batteries, Charger, Flashpoint Flash Diffuser Review

It's rare that I love a product this much.

Note that if you want to bounce the flash off the ceiling, it's easy to do, but not obvious:the 1/4" white glassy part at the front actually flips up.I was actually going to return it before a friend pointed out how to turn that bit of the contraption up.(Dumb me!)

Most excellent product for Nikon cameras - get it!

Automatic operations work extremely well. Manual operations are also easily called into play. I am using the SB-900 with a Nikon D-90 and they are connect with absolutely no issues.

The extra items in this kit are fairly priced and saved me the trouble of ordering them separately.

Zeikos Omni-Bounce Flash Diffuser for Nikon SB-600 Speedlight Review

Total garbage.It doesn't hold itself on the SB-600- I guess I'll have to use velcro until I can get a better diffuser.

Product Description:

The Omni-Bounce Flash Diffuser creates a diffused bare bulb effect, and is designed specifically to fit the Nikon SB-600 and Olympus FL-36 Flash Units. It gives even coverage across the entire frame, and works flawlessly with lenses from 15mm to 200mm in the 35mm format (as well as other formats).

Nikon School DVD - Understanding Digital Photography Review

A 45 minute DVD in which presenter Bob Krist explains some of his more favourite settings on the Nikon D200 camera and the way in which he puts them to good effect. This product is more suited to owners of the D200 if only because they will recognise the various camera features which are highlighted as Mr Krist uses them.

Whilst the content was interesting, I found it difficult to identify exactly which category of photographer at whom this DVD is aimed. If, like myself, you have just purchased your very first DSLR (Digital single lens reflex camera) and are wondering where to start, I would suggest this is not the DVD for you. If, however, you have started to take some decent photos, it should help you progress onto slightly (but only slightly) more advanced techniques. If you are already well down the road of taking excellent photographs using the many varied settings that are available on the modern DSLR then you will gain little from this product.

I really must register my overall disappointment. Just think about the product titles. Firstly we have a DVD from the "Nikon School." I would have thought the very word Nikon would ensure a content worthy of that name. But not so. Secondly, the DVD is called "Understanding Digital Photography." I may be a newcomer to the DSLR but, like Mr Krist, I too have sold my photography to National Geographic and I am also an award-winning author. My understanding of digital photography, however, was not enhanced by this product and my overall knowledge is no richer for my having studied the content closely.
