Attaching and Removing Your Flash Unit:
Wimberley Flash brackets have a 1/4”-20 thumbscrew that attaches to an off-camera hot shoe cable or a wireless cold shoe adapter such as the Wimberley AP-7. The flash cord connects your flash unit to the camera body electrically. We do not sell flash cords.
Please follow camera and flash unit recommendations when purchasing flash cords to ensure proper signal transmission.

M-1 Quick-Release Module
The M-4 Macro Arm:
is one component of the Wimberley Modular Flash Bracket System. It is comprised of two double ball and socket arms that lock positively and offer an almost endless variety of flash positions.
It is included in the following combo unit.
Loosen knob so that ball and thumbscrew can spin freely when attaching the stud to your shoe cord or other device
Off-Camera Flash Cable
Positioning your Flash:
To position your flash, simply loosen the two wing knobs on the Macro Arm clamshells.
Loosening all four ball & socket joints allows for quite a wide array of flash positions. Tighten the wing knobs to lock the flash securely into position.
*When storing your M-4, release the knob tension to allow rubber balls to recover. This extends the life of the module.

After extended use you may have trouble with the balls slipping or creeping when fully tightened. If this occurs try washing the rubber surfaces with a small amount of dishwashing soap and a toothbrush to remove any oils that may have gotten onto the rubber. Rinse well and allow to dry thoroughly before using. Please contact us if you have difficulty with the performance of your macro bracket.
Other Uses and Tips:
Use the bracket with an M-1 module unattached to the lens as a mini tripod for your flash, or hang it from a branch or rail
Use the M-4 to extend a Flash bracket combo such as the F-1 shown below:
