Fits DSLR, Mirrorless & Compact Cameras, Arca-Type Dovetail on Each Axis, CNC-Machined Aluminum Construction, Titanium Anodized Finish, Separates Into Two Plates, Safety Stop Screws on Each Axis, 3x Bubble Level, With Safety Screws. The Vertical Explorer Universal L-Bracket from Explorer Photo & Video is designed to fit a large range of DSLR and mirrorless cameras and to provide flexibility between horizontal and vertical shooting positions while maintaining balance through the center column of a tripod. The CNC-machined aluminum design has been finished with a titanium-tone anodized coating for durability. The VX-UN features an Arca-type dovetail mount design and is fully compatible with most Arca-type clamps. The ability to quickly change the 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. In addition to the tripod mounting socket three 1/4-20 accessory mounting threads are located on the bracket's bottom and side to support accessories such as video lights or microphones connected via mounting arms or cold shoe adaptors. Anti-slip rubber pads and dual safety stop screws minimize lateral movement for security and help to prevent the camera from accidentally sliding out of quick release clamps. The two-piece design allows the L-bracket to be disassembled and each piece can be used independently as a standard quick release plate. When inverted vertically and used with a ball head with a panning clamp the VX-UN can be used as a panning tilt head for video purposes.
