Our PB-1 Portrait Flash Bracket
The new PB-1 portrait flash bracket is similar to the PB-2 but includes our quick release clamp for faster camera mounting and dismounting in conjunction with our camera plates and L-brackets. It provides a convenient, comfortable, and versatile method of holding the camera with the flash raised high for better image capture. The PB-1 is great for wedding and event photographers who are always on the move and in need of flattering flash lighting.
The PB-1 features our glide-track, which allows easy positioning of the flash either center or off-center, and the cushioned handle provides comfortable gripping. The adjustable swing arm allows off-center vertical flash use: with the camera turned for vertical shooting, the flash bracket flips up, keeping the flash angle the same as the camera lens. A telescoping side pole enables flash height positioning from 7.5" to 11" from the camera base.
The PB-1 is sturdy, yet lightweight, and made from aluminum and stainless steel for rugged dependability.

Telephoto Flashbracket for lenses with a tripod collar
For telephoto flash work, day or night, Kirk's Telephoto Flashbracket is an indispensable tool for outdoor photographers everywhere. This bracket enables you to produce the much needed catch light or foreground fill lighting for your subject.
Kirk's telephoto bracket has two very important advantages over others.
First, is the quick and easy installation. By simply tightening one stainless steel screw, the bracket attaches directly to any of the new Kirk Arca-style lens plates that feature the bracket-mounting platform and threaded hole plate. A specially designed tool that makes installation fast and convenient is included.
Second, is the ability to quickly shift the flash to the side by simply loosening one knob and flipping the hinged bracket.
Plus, the knob at the top allows you to quickly and easily tilt your flash unit forward by up to 45 degrees to aid with telephoto macro photography.

"I really like the design of the new macro flashbracket. It's lightweight and compact. The bracket packs well in my camera bag and is extremely versatile, allowing me to position my flash in any direction."
Kevin Weaver
Engineer - Quality Assurance
"I just felt that I must put fingers to keyboard and write to you expressing my sincere thanks for the supply of the quick release platform and L-bracket for my D70s
The time scale of two working days of despatch from yourselves to delivery in the United Kingdom was simply fantastic.
On opening the parcel, I was extremely impressed at the quality of manufacture. I felt that the finish and feel of the components was just superb. I am convinced that your products will give me many years of sterling service.
Again, many thanks for treating a small customer as something special. I only wish all companies had the same attitude to their customers and product quality as you."
Neil Chaput De Saintoge
CO-Director, Rocky Mountain School of Photography
"I have been using the Kirk quick release system and BH-1 tripod head for over four years now. They have made what used to be difficult shooting so much easier and have allowed me to be much more creative. I highly recommend Kirk products. In fact, more of our staff and many of our students have switched to Kirk products."
