I have looked at Kirk L Bracket but was wonder if anyone other than Glenn is using a bracket that allows a black rapid type strap connection.

Kirk seems to be the one but that comes at a cost. I want a plate that is arca type that will mount to my battery grip that also has an extra hole to screw the strap into.

Kirk L-bracket is for Arca-Swiss heads, and it does have the 1/4 inch tripod threaded hole in it. I think you knew that, but I wasn't sure about the question.

@WayneF I have only found the Kirk bracket so far and that was because Glenn on here had one. Looking for other options
@FredKingston I actually purchased that screw but its not long enough go through my current bracket. I get about 2 threads to screw into the camera, not even enough to put the lock washer on that came with it.

I hate to pay the price for Kirk, I know they are good, but man that is one expensive bracket. Thought about just getting the plate, but kind of like the idea of the L Bracket more.

So just fishing to see if anyone else has another option before I order it.

I begrudged the price a bit when I ordered my Kirk bracket and a good ball head, but I was wrong, it has turned out to be a prized possession. And compared to many of the other items, not really all that expensive.

The problem I was having is that my old pan head tripod could not hold up a 24-70 lens when the camera was in vertical orientation. It kept slipping down, rotating around the tripod screw. The L-bracket removes any chance of that, plus it is ultra convenient.

Kind of why I just ordered it, I was reading the reviews again and it sold me. Also, glad you responded with your comments here. Just confirms that I made the right decision.

Thanks Wanye

Well I think I answered my own question. I just ordered the Kirk, decide to just bite the bullet.

Kirk has great products including Really Right Stuff.

I was going to suggest used items since people might have something laying around that is no longer being used.
