MF12 Compact Camera Flash Bracket for Dental Flash System, Godox MF-DB Bracket for MF12 Flash

It works as intended. It’s sturdy. It holds my two MF-12 flashes. But this bracket is designed to be used handheld. It’s not built to be mounted on a tripod, there is a knobbed captive screw that attaches a camera directly to the mounting flange on the rear of the bracket and that’s it. I purchased the bracket to be used with my Godox MF12 flash kit to photograph insects and flowers and you can use it for that with some effort - it’s really hefty with a camera and lens attached and difficult to maneuver and it’s easy to pinch your fingers in the metal bracket sections if you’re not careful. Okay, to be fair, it’s for dental photography, taking pictures of a dental patient’s teeth, but to be honest, I only had a dentist take a picture of my teeth once in my 77 years and that was with a little point and shoot camera. However, I’m going to keep it and use it for indoor macro on a tripod. No way am I shlepping this thing, with a camera and 105mm macro lens attached, across the southern Arizona desert backcountry. In order to make it tripod capable, I replaced the captive screw knob with a 7/8 inch captive screw, threaded this through a square Sunwayfoto Arca-Swiss QR plate, then through the bracket mounting flange and then into a Sunwayfoto 26mm Arca-Swiss clamp. You can see the final contraption in the attached images. Meh. It’s not pretty, but it does what I want.
