Portrait Perfect Packages
 |
| Canon 30D with Really Right Stuff B30D-L plate and B85-B Portrait Perfect Package. Camera is in portrait orientation and flash is held directly above the lens. |
Our B-Series Flash Brackets are also sold as part of our Portrait Perfect Packages. Combine a B-Series Flash Bracket with our MPR-CL rail and you have a modular portrait package that is ideal for keeping the flash directly atop short, non-collared lenses.
Mount Flash Bracket to Camera Body
Modular Portrait Packages deliver maximum versatility
for off-camera flash—ideal for keeping the flash atop
short, non-collared, lenses whether you're hand holding or tripod mounting. All packages come with one flash bracket and one mounting rail, our MPR-CL. Portrait Packages mount to the camera body's quick-release plate (purchase camera body plate separately)—a conventional body plate works fine, but an L-plate adds the ability to tripod mount in vertical aspect. Portrait Packages come in three sizes—the size you choose is best determined by both camera proportions and personal preference.

Choose the Package for You:
B85-B Portrait Perfect Packge: Our smallest package fits smaller bodies like the Nikon D50/D40, Canon Digital Rebel XT/XTi, and Nikon D200/D80/Canon 30D without their add-on battery packs. Weighs 11-ounces (312g).
B87-B Portrait Perfect Package: Our mid-sized package fits larger bodies like Nikon D2-series, Canon 5D & 1D series, and Nikon D200/Canon 5D/30D with their add-on battery packs. Weighs 11.6-ounces (329g).
B91-B Portrait Perfect Package: Select our largest package if you prefer to maximize the vertical distance between strobe head and lens (strobe may be offset from center in horizontal orientation). Weighs 12.1-ounces (343g).
|
| All Portrait Packages include: one B-Series Flash Bracket and one MPR-CL mounting rail. Add a dedicated L-plate for maximum versatility. |
Mounting your Portrait Package:
- Clamp the MPR-CL onto camera body plate; if using an L plate, clamp to side of L-plate.
- Clamp the flash bracket onto the forward end of MPR-CL rail; position hoop on left if using an L-plate, position hoop on right if using a conventional base plate.
- Hold and turn the camera as you would normally.
After changing orientation, simply reach up and
push the orbiting head of the flash bracket into the
detents along the hoop; now you’re ready to shoot
either handheld or from your tripod while always
keeping the flash over the barrel of the lens.
