If you use two camera bodies, it can be cumbersome. I don't use my Custom Brackets QRS35 when I'm lugging two bodies around since it prohibits me from quickly switching bodies. The reason I went with the CB unit is because it flips the body and not the flash. Most other units flip the flash.

Brackets do a good job in shifting the shadows downward from behind the subject and also preventing red eye. They do add weight and can be cumbersome, so you have to look at both the pros and cons.

The CB looks nice

I don't use a flash bracket, but have looked at them quite a few times. I would get the Wimberly one. I've been so impressed with the build quality of all my other Wimberly components, they're pretty much sold me on anything they build! Yeah, it is more expensive, but you know the saying: you get what you pay for.
