When I attach the flash (Nikon SB700) it causes the arm swing downwards towards the camera. Has anybody else experienced this?

I use only my Canon 580EX Speedlite and I have note noticed any swinging downwards the camera. The bracket is strong enough to support any flash weight. I think you might have your camera swinging up on the platform if these little hinge bolts are too lose. This is happening periodically if you swing your camera from landscape to portrait positions a lot. I always carry 8 mm small wrench with me for tightening these bolts. I hope this helps.

Yes, I did and it's easily fixed. Use a appropriate size wrench to simply tighten the nuts on the screws until the camera isn't too hard to rotate, but the frame supports the weight of the flash. I'd tighten the screws about 1/4 turn each until this result is achieved.

I do not have that model. My handle arm is a solid piece of metal. Yours may have a screw that needs tightening

I've been using the Flash for two months with my Nikon D7000 and I'm quite satisfied with it. I'm using it for Macro Photography and I'm getting better photographs than with the Built-in Flash. Make sure your attachment shoe is clean as the connection is sensitive.

I have not had this problem yet. I guess it could happen, but not on my Canon Rebel yet.

Not at all in my experience. I can see it maybe interfering with flash but I haven't noticed anything like that either.

You could install it upside down - but it is not designed to be installed upside down. There is a rubber piece that sits between the bottom plate and the camera when installed properly. If installed upside down, the metal plate would make direct contact with the camera - no rubber. Additionally, I suspect that the weight of the flash would swing the top plate open. I would not do it.

Both arms move and lock into various positions. Lower the camera arm down to the portrait position and leave the flash arm in place.

the mount bracket has a knob that tightens or loosens depending on the hot shoe of the flash but i have a nikon 600 n ive never seen a canon flash in person so i cant give you a definitive answer sorry

I copied this response from my initial review: it doesn`t attach securely to a Nikon SB-800 speedlight. I suspect that the head on the SB-800 is too small for this Gary Fong unit. No matter how much I tightened the velcro strap the unit would eventually slide off. If I moved the strap further down on the head to get more grip the buttons on the Speedlight were then blocked and the speedlight would not lock in the up position with the camera held vertically. I think this unit is meant for the larger flash heads like on the Nikon SB-910.

It happens when a little bit of the skin gets over the camera lens, it has to be applied perfectly or the white wash will be very noticeable. I fixed it by removing the skin between the flash and the camera but it was a really annoying problem.

The more quickly you move the camera up and down the strap the more likely the strap is to shift on your shoulder. If you try to hang the camera down and the strap isn't secure on your shoulder there is a slight possibly of dropping your rig. The strap makes that impossible. I feel very secure and confident about my gear when I have the under the arm strap attached.

Most likely it's due to the camera being to close to what you're whatching... If you move the camera a bit away, the flashy thing will stop...

I haven't had that issue. You can adjust the flash mode and that should solve the issue.

Yes but in that position, it prevents the flash from popping up. When I need the flash AND the GPS, I let the GPS hang by the side.

No, you have to preset the zoom before going down. Other then that, definitely use flash attachment.

I got my d800e and the first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was the rattle. I held the strap rings and shook the camera and found out it came from the flash. I posted about it in another forum and was told it was normal and indeed it is because it's from the metal support that holds the flash up. No need to worry. Only thing to worry about is the left AF issue and the 10-pin connector going limp on you :).

Yes I have the same issue. There is nothing wrong with the lens. It is a third party lens and is totally manual. Flip your camera to manual mode and adjust your settings. The camera will fire is this mode.

Hello Meghan...Unfortunately, Nikon changed the top popup flash area of the FX series of cameras, placing the flash further forward than previous models. This makes the Original and the Deluxe Lightscoop models incompatible. We've looked at coming up with a change to the Deluxe by adding length to the support arm, but we haven't had enough requests to do it. Our web site lightscoop dot com does point out the incompatibility.Best,Phil WilliamsDirector, FulfillmentLightscoop.com
