The Acratech Universal L-Bracket is a precision CNC-machined mounting plate for most DSLR and mirrorless cameras that don't have vertical battery grips attached. It comes with its own camera plate but is compatible with many other Arca-Swiss standard quick release plates. L-brackets, or L-plates, allow you to quickly remount your camera in either landscape or portrait modes without having to make adjustments to your tripod head or camera body position. Unlike other L-brackets which mount directly to the camera, this L-bracket is attached to your camera via a quick release plate. This allows you to remove your camera easily from the L-bracket for hand-held shots with only the plate remaining on the body, instead of the entire L-bracket. Please note that this is not a tripod head replacement. The L-bracket locks into an Arca-Swiss standard tripod head and acts as a replacement plate for whatever head you are using.
