ProMediaGear BBGv2 Boomerang Flash Bracket Overview
The ProMediaGear BBGv2 Boomerang Flash Bracket is made for DSLRs or mirrorless cameras with a battery grip. It is taller than regular flash brackets to accommodate the extra height.
Additionally, this flash bracket features a unique design. You can easily rotate and adjust your flash for up to 90-degrees. Thus, you can shoot vertically without any problems.
What this bracket does is lift the flash higher. The flash is not mounted on the hot shoe. Instead, It is higher and movable. This makes it possible to change the flash direction easily.
Moreover, the unobtrusive design makes it fun to use. Also, the smooth action of the maintenance-free bearings adds to the ease of usage.
In addition, ProMediaGear has optimized this flash bracket for tall cameras. This includes the Canon 1DX, Nikon D5, and other DSLRs with a similar form. Plus, newer mirrorless cameras such as the Canon R5 or R6 fit this well as long as it has a battery grip installed.
Finally, the unit quickly folds down and can easily be stored in your gear bag when not in use. It consists of 3 major assemblies
- Camera Mounting Plate (The Bracket Plate Universal or Custom)
- BBGv2 Boomerang Main Body Arc
- Flash Rotation Arm
Why choose the ProMediaGear flash brackets?
ProMediaGear designed the boomerang flash bracket around the Arca-Compatible camera plate. The Boomerang even comes with the ProMediaGear PBX3 Universal Bracket Plate. But, there is also an option for a custom camera plate, if available.
This flash bracket works with other ProMediaGear accessories. Leave the plate on and you can attach an L-bracket. Handles, Port protectors, and other adapters may also be attached to this bracket plate system. Also, it does not block the Arca-compatible base.
Furthermore, the bracket plate system provides the ability to add other gear. Microphones, monitors, or even triggers fit the bracket easily.
