Every flash bracket I've ever seen will support a camera and/or flash that has either a normal hot shoe or PC socket. It works like this: A bracket must have a shoe of some sort, in order to hold the flash. All you need to make the flash connect to the camera is an off-camera TTL cable like the one I own (http://tinyurl.com/ksb7t). The cable sits on the camera's hot shoe, and the other end is placed between the flash and the bracket's flash shoe. The final setup should look something like this: http://www.camerahobby.com/Images/Technical/ProT2.jpg When you flip the flash over into the vertical shooting position, it looks like this: http://www.camerahobby.com/Images/Technical/ProT3.jpg Notice the flash head is directly above the lens in both configurations, and most brackets allow for various adjustments to get the alignment perfectly set. Most pro photographers I met at my old job who used flash had a setup like this. There are dozens of brackets out there, including some which rotate the camera, not the bracket or flash, to achieve horizontal and vertical shooting positions. In my opinion, if you're shooting with flash frequently, you can't go wrong with a flip-able flash bracket. Heck, I only use my bracket once or twice a year, but it's worth it. The portrait I posted as a PESO a few weeks back (http://www.neovenator.com/special/c_and_t.jpg) was shot with my AF540FGZ and my FlashFrame bracket.
