[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 608913, member: 12496"] Unusually inexpensive, but I would question that it would get the job done. IMO, other than speed and convenience, the purpose of a L bracket is to hold a heavy lens in portrait orientation. In which position, a heavy lens will cause the friction mount to slip, and rotate around the tripod screw, so that the lens always tilts down then. Just cannot tighten it enough to keep it level. Constant aggravation. L brackets have to "fit" the specific camera body, because they have a fitted rear lip that extends up slightly, to be a wall so that the body simply cannot rotate on it. It solves the heavy lens problem, but it sure drives the price up. But if it weren't for that, we could just use a regular pan head tilted up (and can, for many lighter lenses). I've always wondered why an adjustable lip could not fit many cameras, but I've never seen that. [/QUOTE]
