Peter:

I looked at the Jones bracket here:

Does yours look like that? Not sure if I would like to have that circular rotating frame in front of my Rollei. Looks rather unwieldy and attention fetching, and there's no need for the rotation function withthe square format. But I can see how it would be useful with a 35mm SLR, cobra-style flash and 200-400mm lens (a combination I am planning to use in W-Africa next year for nocturnal mammal photography).
I did get the Rolleifix, mostly for the correct use of the newer style Rollei Panorama head. Tried it with my existing compact bracket and I think it works quite well - very little bulk.

Hi Jan,
I use a Jones bracket. The one I have is specifically designed to accept a Rollei as it has a built in quick release. They were bought out by a company called Veach and make one with a flat bottom. You are probably better to use that with a Rolleifix. I think the Jones are THE best brackets for Rollei.
