If you are looking into buying the SB-800 (Overkill for most non-professionals, and even some professionals, but great features) then buy this full kit. I was not able to find the items that came in this kit anywhere else for less than $100.00 more.
The bracket adds an element of versatility and creativity I never thought possible with flash. I was raised that if you are relying on your flash for a good photo you're going to be disapointed. Sorry Grandpa, but that's just not the case anymore. The bracket w/ included remote cord puts the speedlight off camera preventing red eye and a host of other on camera issues. It has six different mounting points on the base so you can utilize a tripod with the bracket.
It's hefty, but not uncomfortable and it is well balanced. The design of the adjustment parts is smooth and allows for an infinate number of different positions (Top, Angles, Sides) when combined with the tilt and pan capabilities of the speed light.
The Batteries are effective out of the box (I haven't had a chance to drain them yet, but I've taken lots of pictures) and the extra battery cases are extremely convenient.
Overall this is an outstanding package and a GREAT DEAL as far as I could find. Shipping was also extremely fast, especially considering I am currently at an overseas APO.
Buy Nikon SB-800 AF Speedlight Flash + Deluxe Flash Bracket Accessory Kit!
