Not so long ago I asked a similar question here at dgrin.
Later I made a decision and picked up Stroboframe Press-T. I got mine from B&H, but the choice is yours.
Pros:
Convenient natural hand position both in H and V positions.
Flash is on top of the camera in bowh H and V positions
Cons
does not fold completely
requires an extra plate to secure the camera (maybe others do too, I don't know)
Requires a coin or a tool to attach the camera. Requires a philips tool to extend/secure the boom.
As you may have already figured out:-), the "pros" won - for me, that is.
HTH
Nikolai,
I agree with your review. I couldn't get to Ann Arbor (2.5 hrs away) to have a look at the Custom Bracket. My local camera store (Norman Camera- www.normancamera.com) had the stroboframe Pro T. I have the Canon 1DmkII and I was able to play with it on a store camera. Your pros and cons are right on. I bought the Pro T and will be using it at a volleyball tournament tomorrow (1/7/06) if the refs allow flash!!...Did you get the quick release with the Press T? Any other advice on using a flash bracket?

Erich,
Yes, I'm using it with 20D. No, no battery grip.
Nikolai,
I agree with your review.
