3 Legged Thing released a new universal L-bracket, Lexie, designed to work with a wide range of popular cameras from companies including Canon, Fujifilm, Hasselblad, Nikon, OM System (Olympus), Panasonic, Pentax, and Sony. However, the British tripod company adds that Lexie will fit even more cameras.
Really Right Stuff announced a new L-bracket called the MC-LS that is designed to work on basically any camera with the classic SLR design with a perfect fit thanks to five levels of adjustment.
A new quick-release plate called the "Magic Plate" has made its way onto Kickstarter, where it claims to be the easiest way to quickly switch between portrait and landscape mode without having to remove your camera from your tripod.
British tripod manufacturer 3 Legged Thing has created a new universal L-plate that is both affordable and intuitive.
So what is a "Universal Tripod L-Bracket"? Well, I'm not sure, because I couldn't find another on the market quite like it. Some tripod manufacturers make L-brackets specific to their own tripod, but I found nothing universal.
