Follow these steps to securely attach the L-Bracket to your camera:

  1. Align the L-bracket with the bottom of your Sony Alpha 7R V, Alpha 7 IV, or Alpha 7S III camera. Ensure the locating pins on the L-bracket align with the corresponding holes on the camera body.
  2. Secure the L-bracket to the camera using the integrated 1/4"-20 screw. Tighten the screw firmly with the built-in flat-head screwdriver or a coin.

3.1. Switching Between Horizontal and Vertical Shooting

The L-bracket features a foldable side plate for seamless transitions between shooting orientations.

  • For Horizontal Shooting: The side plate can be folded onto the bottom baseplate via a folding press button. This integrates it as a single baseplate for Arca-Swiss compatible tripods.
  • For Vertical Shooting: Press the middle button to quickly unfold the side plate. Once unfolded, it locks securely into place, allowing for vertical mounting on an Arca-Swiss compatible tripod head.
