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 

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