    WHY USE AN L-BRACKET?

    The ability to quickly change your camera’s orientation from landscape to portrait is one of the biggest advantages when using an L bracket over a standard quick-release mounting plate. This can provide multiple options for compositions while still maintaining balance and even weight distribution on a tripod.

    Advantages of using an L-Bracket 

    • Better weight distribution and balance through the tripod
    • Maintain composition when changing from horizontal to vertical orientation
    • Great for panoramic shots in both vertical and horizontal orientation
    • Allows for a full range of motion in portrait / vertical orientation when using a ball-head
    • Maintain access to the accessory ports on your camera (custom-fitted L-Brackets)
    • Acts as a protective shell around the camera body
