Overview

The ProMediaGear PLNZ83X L-Bracket allows for quick changes between portrait and landscape without the need for tripod head readjustment and re-composition.

You simply release the bracket from your tripod head, flip it 90 degrees mounting it back into the tripod head.

This L-Bracket is also compatible with Arca-Swiss-type standards from all major manufacturers. So it does not matter which clamp you use, as long as it is a standard Arca clamp.

The benefits of mounting on the vertical side facilitate a more stable platform than using the ball head alone to tilt 90 degrees, as the camera mounts directly over the center of the tripod apex.

The PLNZ8 has been machined from a solid Aluminum T6061 block and black anodized for the scratch-resistant finish.

The main feature of this L-Bracket is its two-piece design; the vertical piece of the L-Bracket can be extended or removed, which allows for the use of just the base plate if desired.

This L-bracket comes with a 5-year warranty!

Conflict with Allen wrench ...

I sent you guys a note on this. I love your L plates for compatibility, ease of use and of course the handy Allen wrench. But this model requires space be retained between the L section and the body (which you may not want) or the strap eyelet will prevent access to the Allen wrench ... so you need another Allen wrench! Should be easy design/milling fix. Keep up the good work!

Hi Craig,

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review and feedback, we really appreciate it!

You're right, in some cases, especially with the universal L-bracket, the included Allen wrench might come into contact with the camera’s strap eyelet, which can make it tricky to access. Thanks for pointing that out. We'll definitely take note of your suggestion and look into creating a better Allen key solution for future models.

We're glad to hear you’re enjoying the L-plates overall — your support means a lot!

Thank you,
Noel | PMG Customer Service

Great L-Bracket for Nikon Z8

It took ProMediaGear a while to design and fabricate the PLNZ83X Arca-swiss L-Bracket for Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera
Complete L-Bracket with QD Strap Port (includes PLNZ8 + PLX3) but the wait was worth it for me. In the mean time I tried out 2 other vendors but their offering were not as great as ProMediaGear’s (mostly due to lack of expansion rails). The expansion rails allow you to eliminate cable interference while mounting on an Arca Swiss connection in portrait orientation. Also the rubber cap protectors can be fully opened when in an extended mode. The rigidity of the extension rails is really high so you don’t have to worry about flexing even when using a long heavy lens mounted on the camera. Of importance is the addition of the QD Quick Release Plug on the bottom plate. I have also replaced the lens foot on my 100-400mm Nikon zoom so I can rapidly switch from the L-Bracket base to the lens foot using the QD plug. If you purchase this L-Bracket I strongly suggest you look at the QDP1 - QD Quick Release Plug connector as an additional option which works great on a cross shoulder strap rig. I have thought about the offset version but since I it’s my own pocket money here I am very happy with the compromise here. There are much cheaper QD connectors available on Amazon but I personally will not risk allowing my invested camera gear to fly off when hiking. Another accessory I would recommend adding is the CS2 Aluminum Cold Shoe Adapter (be sure to get the anti-rotation pins) to mount other accessories such as a lightning trigger, lights, etc. I have not received any compensation from ProMediaGear for this review and this is my personal opinion based on actual usage hoping this helps other photographers.

Nikon z8 L Plate (PLNZ83X)

This is a well designed and extremely well constructed plate that fits perfectly on the camera. A beautiful piece of engineering that feels good in the hand since it gives you a left hand grip and easy access to all ports & buttons. The Arca Swiss plates work well with both my tripods. Of course the plate adds some bulk and weight so you need to decide whether to 'wear' it all the time or just fit it when contemplating tripod use. Since I like the grip so much I have opted for the former. PMG are very responsive to e-mail queries.
