L-Bracket Plate DAL-1 Quick Release Arca Swiss Compatible with Camera/Tripod Head

I use this to hold my cameras vertically. It is simple and effective. Being two pieces put together does not affect it's strength in my opinion. I like the multiple screws at the bottom because I can attach it anywhere I like. Overall, I am very pleased to the point that I got 6 of these (I use many cameras).

I used this bracket, along with a sturdy watch band, to build a holder for my Kodak digital camera. Why? Because the camera is small and my hands lack coordination. With this, I can confidently use my camera, with my left hand in the watch strap, without fear of dropping it. This bracket is PERFECT and is well-made.

You assemble it yourself. Strong enough to hold a bulky 100mm zoom lens.

The plates are solid - but no milling for a mount at all. The description is misleading - This is NOT Arca Swiss compatible and it really can't be used in the portrait position. If you look closely at the photos - they represent the true functionality. Landscape only and no arca Swiss.

Basic and versatile design. Worked well with my non-traditional (CCD) camera setup. Simple assembly is required. Overall good deal.

I think this item will be sturdy enough for light duty use. It was disappointing that it was not machined out of a single piece of metal. There is nothing but screw heads supporting the entire weight of the camera.

The the screw did not fit in the slot. I'm trying to file it open.

No photo, because the ones that appear are perfect, show the product as is and are not retouched.
