The commonly used configuration, as you can guess from the length of the
M. Grip cord, is with the BG2 on the right when used with a motor drive.
I know several listees have said that's how they use it. I very seldom
use mine, but that's my preferred setup too.
The most important photographic factor is which way you rotate the
camera for vertical shots. The flash should always be above the camera
so shadows behind subjects tend to go down the wall behind them, rather
than looming above them like hungry ghosts.
Once you get that much stuff together, personal preferrence should rule
over any recommendations anyway. Everything on the right works best for
me 'cause I don't like stuff on the left getting in the way of my
focusing hand. Try using it both ways without film and see what feel
best for you and which way you take vertical shots with it.
I assume the various tripod screw holes are to get proper left-right
balance on a tripod with various arrangements of the bits and pieces?

So how do people use the BG2? what do the five different mounting
screw holes in the base plate equate to? Different bodies, winder vs
motor drive? How do you handle the camera/BG2?
