The Kirk FB-8 Macro Flash Flip Bracket connects directly to the camera's 1/4"-20 tripod socket. Its primary design is to allow the flash to be positioned leaning forward just above the end of the lens, which is very useful for macro photography. The 2-way joint between the horizontal and vertical arms gives it this flexibility.
The bracket can not be attached directly to a tripod or tripod head, but can be adapted for this with the addition of the optional FB-8A Adapter.
