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.
