The L-Bracket was designed to quickly mount your camera onto an Arca-swiss style ball head in landscape or portrait shooting positions. It is a camera accessory that stays permanently attached to your camera and lets you clamp it to the ball head mounted on your tripod.
ProMediaGear L-Brackets allows for fast changes between portrait and landscape orientations, without the need for tripod head readjustment and re-composition. You simply release the bracket from your tripod head, flip it 90 degrees mounting it back into the tripod head.
Should you get a universal L-Bracket for any camera?
If you have multiple camera units or you upgrade regularly, a universal L-bracket is a great investment. You can easily remove it from one body and transfer it to another.
Having a universal L-bracket on hand is handy whenever you are shooting landscapes. It makes changing composition easier. It also reduces the risk of your camera setup falling down due to an imbalanced position.
