Best dedicated L bracket for Nikon D800

6 years 2 months ago #568802 by Ted Helm
Hey gang.  I've been shooting more and more between landscape and portrait position.  So it's time to get a L bracket.

I've found a several:

RRS:  www.reallyrightstuff.com/BD800-L-L-Plate-for-D800-800E
which is $140

Kirk:  www.kirkphoto.com/l-bracket-for-nikon-d800.html
Which is $135

ProMediaGear:  www.promediagear.com/PLND800x-L-Bracket-...e-L-Plate-_p_80.html
Which is $119

Sunway:  www.sunwayfoto.com/e_goodsDetail.aspx?gId=1187
Price not shown??

What would you say my best choice is here?

I have a Sunway bracket I'd like to get rid of. They make good stuff.

You can find their brackets at B&H, I think. I got mine from Amazon.

Hi Ted.
Depends on your clamp system too: Kirk and RRS use the Arca Swiss system, others may need adapting.
I use a Markins L-Bracket I'm leaving now.-810 with my Nikon D810 and I love the quality.

I personally wouldn't spend over a hundred bucks for an "L" bracket alone, I believe my priciest was in the thirty dollar range. Read the reviews before the purchase, OP....
