The manual says about 1 meter away. I was a little more than that, and the flash kept up with the shutter actuations.

I'll look into a different bracket. I have one of those Newton camera brackets. It's good, but it tends to get a little wobbly when the flash is mounted on it.
I have a Newton bracket on both cameras. I love them and have never had them be wobbly unless the screws are working loose which is rare. I use them with the 580EXII.
