CAMOLO DSLR Foldable Camera L Bracket Mount,Arca Swiss
CAMOLO DSLR Foldable Camera L Bracket Mount,Arca Swiss Vertical Horizontal Tripod Quick Release Plate for Manfrotto DJI Canon Nikon Sony Mirrorless Camera Osmo Ronin Zhiyun Stabilizer Tripod Monopod
Solid build quality silvery in colour for me not black like the image but doesn’t matter. If you want to use any cold shoe mounts some screw holes may be blocked due to tiny screws however this shouldn’t pose a huge problem as there are alternative places for mounting. It’s solid build quality not too heavy, perfect for mounting to a tripod.
This is a very good quality product and outstanding value for money. It’s easy to fit and to remove and doesn’t cause any scuffs or scratches. It’s just as good as an OEM part.
This camera clamp works with the majority of DSLR cameras that meet Arca-Swiss standards.
The CAMOLO DSLR Foldable Camera L Bracket Mount was built from a durable aluminium alloy, so it feels sturdy and reliable. Its installation to the camera and tripod also becomes easy and more secure. Plus, the rubberized padding on the mounting surface protects against camera scratches and slippage.
Furthermore, the mount’s Arca Swiss quick-release plate allows for a smooth transition between vertical and horizontal shooting orientations. A cold shoe is also included for attaching a monitor, microphone, LED lights, and other video production accessories, and the QD hole allows for the installation of straps for easy transport.
In terms of performance, it offered the stability and support required for clear, blur-free images. The ability to switch between vertical and horizontal orientations on the fly was also extremely useful, particularly during fast-paced shooting situations. Its foldable design even adds to its portability, allowing you to pack it easily in your camera bag without taking up too much space.
Overall, this is a must-have accessory for photographers looking for more versatility and stability in their shooting positions.
I love everything about this L-bracket. I use it to accessorize my cameras that are not in cages with gear or to quickly change the Horizontal and Vertical orientation. There are many quarter 20 screw holes for mounting options almost like a cheese plate. The folding feature is cool but I just keep it mounted on my 2nd camera for instant access and use. Great product for rea.
Thus folding L bracket locks into place and snaps open and closed with a side button you press. The button is firm and won’t be triggered by accident. It comes with 1 screw pin..
It is very thick and a bit heavy. But it does the job and has Lots of mounting screw holes to fit any and all needs.
I picked up the CAMOLO Foldable Arca Swiss Compatible L Bracket for my Z series cameras.
It’s made of 4 separately milled pieces of aluminum, the folding plate function locks when pulled apart and to fold it back you push on the screw unlocking the plate and it can be folded back onto itself. The extension plates both vertical and horizontal have grooves in them enabling them to fit into Arca Swiss compatible heads. The base plate has a 1/4″ locking screw for your camera and 8 additional 1/4″ screw holes for the rig or other possible accessory attachments. On the vertical portion, there are 6 additional 1/4″ screw holes for other accessory attachments. On the base of both the base and vertical plates are two catch screws for catching the camera when not fully tightened in the tripod head.
Depending on what I’m out shooting, I don’t always use a vertical plate, however, when I do I like the fact this one is compact and foldable – unlike the other ones I have that have to be taken apart if I want to travel with them with any convenience.
Overall, if you’re looking for a compact travel vertical plate, the CAMOLO Foldable Arca Compatible plate is a no-brainer and should be in your camera bag!
When I ordered this I thought maybe the hinge could be used to flip portrait and landscape, but the channel for the 1/4-20 is uni-directional facing inside the L (maybe if you had a longer 1/4-20 bolt you could mount on the other side). This means the hinge is really just for compact storage and portrait/landscape requires releasing at the ARCA plate and reattaching. There’s a tiny bit of play in my unit at the hinge which can make it wobble a tiny bit in portrait mode. A shim of paper folded 2x was just about right to take the play out of it (pictured). The hinge did take a second to get used to how it works: the part that looks like a button is a post and you pull the longer leg of the L towards which slides and then can be folded. Considering the hinge is only used for storage it’s tolerable. This really seems like a universal half cage for SLR or mirrorless camera.
Ordered this to use for my Sony camera that I use to shoot video – when I need to turn it on it’s side I usually have to disassemble/unmount from the tripod so I thought this would save me some time – and it DOES! It comes folded so it’s very compact (which also makes it easy to take with you on the go) and it mounts easily to any cold shoe – it is very stable and even has rubber pads to keep the camera safe. Took me a minute to figure out the quick release button but that’s more user error than the product LOL – I thought that was TOO simple of a solution but turns out that just how the product is – simple! And this is a good thing.
There are lots of spots for mounting too – so you can definitely use with other things like a gimbal or even a phone.
If you use a tripod for photography/video work or are a content creator that uses a camera to film, then this thing is a time saver and well worth the $20 several times over. I recommend it!
