Best Universal L-Bracket for DSLR and Mirrorless Cameras with Vertical Battery Grips

This ProMediaGear 4 inch Tall, Universal L-Bracket fits any camera (Olympus, Sony, Pentax, Canon, Nikon, Phaseone, Hasselblad etc.).  It's designed for bodies with Vertical Battery Grips.

Please be sure to choose either SS2 or QD strap port, as future plates will be released with QD strap port to standardize Strap Connectivity.

This 4" Universal L-Bracket from ProMediagear fits camera bodies of various sizes and brands (with built-in or additional Vertical Battery Grip).  It will work with Cameras like Canon 1Dx Mark I & II, 5D Mark IV with BG-E20, 6D with BG-E21, 7D Mark II with BG-E16 etc, or Nikon D850 with MB-D18, D810 with MB-D12, D500 with MB-D17, D750 with MB-D16 etc, or Pentax K-1 with D-BG6, KP with D-BG7, K-3 with BG-5, or Sony A7 with VGC2EM, A9 with VGC3EM, a6500 Vello BG-S5 etc, Olympus OM-D E-M11 M10 with HLD-6P, Fuji X-T3 with VG-XT3, X-T2 with MHG-XT2, Panasonic GH4 DMW-BGGH3, GH5 with DMW-BGGH5 and many others.

Note: Since this is a universal L-Bracket if the battery on the Grip is accessed from the L-bracket side it will block the battery.  In that case Custom Fitted bracket is recommended.  Please click on PRODUCTS for category above.

L-Brackets or L-Plates allow for fast changes between portrait and landscape orientations, without the need of 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.  Compatible with Arca-Swiss type standards from all major manufacturers.

Benefits or mounting on vertical side facilitates a more stable platform than tilting 90 degrees as the camera mounts directly over center of tripod apex.

The L-Bracket has been machined from solid Aluminum T6061 block and black anodized for scratch resistant finish. The main feature of this L-Bracket is its two piece design; the vertical piece of the L-Bracket can be extended or removed, this allows for the use of just the base plate if desired. Furthermore, by using only a hard rubber pads on the bottom camera portion of the L-bracket, we ensure that the L-plate rests directly on the camera eliminating any play or twisting.

Features:

  • Two piece design; Extendable Vertical Plate allows for easy tethering
  • Rubber Pads on Bottom Plate Eliminate Twisting and protect the camera
  • Easy Access to Cable Ports
  • 1/4"-20 Threads on Vertical And bottom side for accessories (cold shoes, holsters, straps)

Universal L bracket
I ordered the universal L bracket for my Olympus E-5 with battery grip and it fits quite nicely. It has become a permanent part of that body. Flipping from horizontal to vertical is a breeze and it locks tightly into the Arca-Swiss tripod head I have. So far so good.

4 inch universal L-bracket
Strong L-bracket, very versatile. Very useful to switch from landscape to portrait frame. The magnetic allen wrench holder and the removable strap loop are a fantastic idea! I use it on assignments with my Nikon D3X and my Nikon D700. Pascal Reynaud, International Luxury Hotel Photographer. www.pascalreynaud.com

Great and useful product
I purchased this universal L-Bracket for my Canon 7D with battery grip because of my previous experience with ProMediaGear products... I have a flash bracket made by them. The L-Bracket is light weight and well made, it does exactly what it is designed to do.

The L bracket is extremely well made, sturdy and does exactly as expected. The arca clamp is secure. A brilliant item. I must commend Tom, his team and the USPS who got the bracket into England within 3 days, it then took a further 8 days to go through uk custums and the uk postal service before it was delivered. That aside I am very pleased with the product and will certainly recommend to other photographers.

I also got one for the D800 which I reviewed. This is for my Nikon D3s. I was surprised there wasn't a specific model for such a pro camera that has been around for a while so I got the generic L plate. It is actually easier to use than the specific D800 one even if it has to be removed more often. One allen screw and it's off. I like the fact that it can be adjusted and fit any other camera I have. Plus it was less expensive. My camera strap is minor in the way, but not bad. Unrelated, but I haven't found a GOOD SECURE EASY and SMALL quick release to remove the camera strap at the camera ring that doesn't scratch up the camera or get in the way. I use a series of split rings (tiny key rings), but am wary of the security. Maybe PMG will come up with an idea. 5 stars on this one. Plus the customer service is real human Americans on the phone.

Mr.
I did not have many options for the Pentax K1 with a battery grip. I saw this Promediagear bracket and it had good reviews. I can see why. It high quality and well built. I've used it several times now and I couldn't be more pleased with it. I highly recomend it.

Mr.
The Bracket I purchased completed the “L” configuration I was interested in and built of very high Quality. I already have the RRS “L-Bracket” but but was not happy with their “Quick Disconnect” carrying strap that was available and extremely satisfied with the Pro-Media quick disconnect function, which is the main reason for relocating the RRS bracket to “the shelf”!!!

PLX4x L-Bracket on Fujifilm X-H1 with VPB vertical booster grip
The ProMediaGear Universal L bracket is very well made and is also beautiful to gaze upon. The main reason for this purchase is the ability to flip from a vertical composition to a horizontal composition at F-15 speed - and it does that very well. I have two minor issues with the bracket mounted on my Fujifilm X-H1 and VPB vertical booster grip combination. One issue was very short term, but the other issue is unfixable. The short term problem involved the vertical plate of the "L" bracket. The very top of the "L" bracket was hitting the camera strap eyelet before the "L" bracket was locked to the bottom to the grip (I'm guessing the X-H1 and VPB combination is not quite as tall as the Canon, Nikon or Sony equivalents). The easy fix for this issue was to use a Dremel tool and create a little trough on the camera side of the top part of the vertical "L". That little trough made room for the strap eyelet which in turn allowed the entire "L" bracket to fit perfectly on the X-H1 - VPB combination. The second, long term issue is having to remove the "L" bracket every time I need to change batteries with this camera/vertical grip combination. The "L" bracket need to be at least loosened and partially spun out of the way to allow access to the battery drawer - if not removed entirely.

Works like a charm
I bought a complete L-bracket several months ago and really like the way it works on my various Canon DSLRs and PowerShot G3X. I've also tried it on a couple of Sony cameras. This really is a universal bracket in my book, as long as you don't have a battery grip. However I use my DSLRs with and without battery grips, so I just added the 4x vertical piece (I'm glad PMG sells it separately!) and now have a totally universal L-Bracket that works with my 1D Mark 4 and various other Canon DSLRs with battery grips attached. I like the new rubber grip on the base plate: it grips better than the previous one. Still not quite as good as custom plates, but more than good enough for my usage. Very highly recommended, especially if you have several cameras and don't want to buy a bevy of brackets.

I purchased this on January 28, after reviewing and comparing with many other L-brackets. I am so glad I chose the PMG. It is finished beautifully, fits my camera (Canon EOS 80D) perfectly, and includes many excellent features. The only assembly i was required to do was move the camera mounting screw from the left to the right slot. At that point it fit my camera perfectly with the vertical of the L snug up against the left side of my camera. When I need to access the side ports, I can extend the vertical side out to provide more finger room. The necessary tools are provided for all adjustments with the main allen wrench magnetically held in the vertical side pocket. Safety stop screws are provided on both the base and vertical portions which is missing on all other brackets I investigated. With the Arca-Swiss compatibility I can quickly and easily switch my camera from landscape to portrait orientation with the cg of the camera remaining over the top of the tripod. That is important because tilting the tripod head leads to a much less stable camera position. So. Excellent fit and finish. A full range of rarely found features. Universal fit so it can be moved to just about any similar camera. And an excellent price which is far less than dedicated L-brackets. What more could you ask for?

A quite-versatile universal L-bracket. With the tall vertical, it just fits my Samsung NX-1 w/batterygrip. Could be a little-more-strongly built for as tall as it is, but then it'd be heavier. If you can't find a custom plate, this one probably will work just finely.
