Sneak Peak at Boomerang Flash Bracket

This is all we want to reveal at this time.  This is the main articulating arm for our new rotating flash bracket.  This will be smaller and easier to operate than our Guillotine flash bracket.  It will keep the flash upward at all times, perfect if you are bouncing the flash or just want a fill light with shadows behind the subject, hence not visible in photos.  It will feature a secure locking lever.  It is estimated that it will weigh about 10-12oz.  Very light.  We will also make it work with our lineup of Arca-Swiss compatible body plates.  The Arm you see in the picture will also be available in quick release version.  The Arca-Swiss plate will stay on the body and ProMediaGear's Boomerang bracket will stow away for easy transport.  The picture is an Iphone capture.

New Plate for Canon DSLR 1D series

ProMediaGear Plate (one base plate only) for Canon EOS 1D Mark III and Mark IV, 1Ds Mark III Arca-Swiss, Really Right Stuff RRS, Kirk Compatible

This plate is lighter than competitors plates, it offers the same level of stability, aircraft quality aluminum with durable black finish.  Also having separate anti rotation lips on the sides and not through the entire length of the plate, offers you more contact with camera rubberized grip, increasing comfort and grip quality.  The are no sharp edges, the whole idea of making custom fit body plates like these is to not even feel it is attached to your camera.

With ProMediaGear you have a chance to buy a unique item, new designs not copies.
