I almost gave this a 5 star review. The only issues I've had with it, which were no big deal for me but I could see bothering other buyers are:
1) The nut that goes on the swivel kept coming unscrewed after flipping the bracket a few times. I had a locking nut on hand and replaced it with that and have had no further problems, if you don't have one on hand and yours has the same issue that could be a bit of an inconvenience.
2) The hotshoe mount would not securely hold the end of my generic ettl cord (don't know if it would hold the Canon branded one any better). I just unscrewed the mount and used the same screw to directly attach it to the bracket, which would be an inconvenience if I wanted to use the same cord off camera without the bracket.
For me I'm still really happy with it, it serves my purposes well for as often as I need a bracket and I'm glad I didn't spend the extra money on the more known brand.

The only reason this got a 4 star rating is because the mount on the top of the camera does not close far enough to hold my flash... keep that in mind if you are buying this expecting to use the mount. I, however am not using the mount, as I purchased a hot shoe cord that I just screwed on top using the screw that comes with the bracket.
It's a nice bracket for the price. It is a sturdy, all metal frame with a nice grip.
If you are a beginner or don't have a ton of money to spend, this is a nice bracket. The only thing I don't like about it is it does not have a hinge at the bottom, so it is not easy to store. It takes up a lot of room in my camera bag.
Also when you use the bracket as a Left handle mount you must rotate the camera clockwise for vertical shots. I"m used to rotating the camera counter-clockwise, with my hand on top so its a little akward... I think I can get used to it though.
Next time I'll definitely invest a little more money and get one that has a hinge at the bottom for more movement of the flash and so it will fold down.

The shoe must be removed to add the Flash sync cable, the you must carry a Phillips screw driver (no thumb screw, or room for one). The elbow of the arm is set with a allen screw and is not adjustable, and will flow freely with the flash. As the top horizontal arm is not at 90 degrees to the vertical arm. The arm flops down out of level.

I was pretty nervous getting the knock-off version for my flash bracket, but I liked the price, so I decided to go for it. It came the day of one of my scheduled wedding shoots, and I decided to use it cold turkey. It was WELL WORTH THE PURCHASE. It's incredibly lightweight and moves the flash easily. There are no extra buttons that you have to push to manuever it, just an easy flip with your hand. The padding is perfect for long days of holding your camera. I'd recommend this to anyone looking for a bracket.

This is the cheapest and best valued "flash arm bracket" that I could find. I am quite happy with it, however it is my first "flash arm bracket" and I have not yet used it extensively. I find it to be very sturdy and professional looking, the grip is a nice cheap foam but works, and the velcro straps are a plus. The flash arm is held with an allen screw and nut for a firm hold but easily moves under manual pressure and I imagine this may need tightening over time.
Considerations: Only the flash arm rotates while some models have both arms rotate (useful?). Also, the flash shoe mount is all metal (so you may want to use some Hosa 2-inch Gaffers Tape 60 Yards, Black to pad it from the metal hotshoe on your flash). Also the flash shoe did not grip my flash (430exii,540ez) very well... until I added a couple of strips of gaffers tape. I'm also going to try to use this as a cheap "diy steadicam" after some mods and a counter weight.
