ProMediaGear PLNMBD18 L-Bracket for Nikon D850 with MBD-18 grip overview
The ProMediaGear PLNMBD18 L-Bracket for Nikon D850 works specifically with the Nikon MB-D18 battery grip. This L-bracket fits the camera perfectly without covering any of the available ports. Besides that, it fits the camera tightly like a glove.
Moreover, the best feature of this L-bracket is its two-piece design. A vertical piece extends to allow cable connection. Meanwhile, the horizontal camera plate works with any Arca-compatible clamp.
In terms of durability, ProMediaGear manufactures its L-bracket from a solid T6061 aluminum block. Also, it also has a black-anodized scratch-resistant finish. Hence, the paint job lasts longer than regular paint.
If you have a Nikon D850, then this bracket is worth considering. However, it only works with the Nikon MB-D18 grip. Other third-party grips will not fit perfectly.
But, there's a workaround to it. You may opt for the ProMediaGear PLX4X Universal L-Bracket instead. It functions the same. However, it does not fit as tightly as the PLNMBD18.
Lastly, the ProMediaGear PLND850 L-bracket for Nikon D850 works without a battery grip. Of course, the custom camera plate helps with the best camera fit too.
Why use a camera L-bracket?
L-bracket allows for quick orientation changes. You can easily switch from a vertical to a horizontal composition without adjusting the tripod head.
Other benefits include the added protection of the camera body. The aluminum L-bracket wraps around the camera. Then, if it falls down, there's a high chance that it will protect the whole camera. This prevents scuffs or damages to the body.
