L bracket demo (video):

I know I've seen some people question why we might want/like L-brackets, especially for the money, so I threw this together over the weekend:

hope that helps.

nice video!

what tripod are you using?

Gitzo GT3530S w/ an Acratech GV2 & RRS B2 LR II.

Very nice setup!

thanks, it's one of the few bits of kit I haven't ever second guessed....

That is a great advert for off camera microphones

Very cool Ben. I do like the head choppage in the video. I love L plates and for anyone looking to buy one, it is totally worth it.

Hm, do L plates have a secondary tripod mount nut/screw hole on the bottom and side????

Yeah, hard to compose from the front of the lens... I was also shooting with my GF1 for the bag review and the wider lens meant I moved that tripod closer to the action, but when I moved the 5Dii onto those legs so I could use the good tripod in this video, I forgot to move it back a bit, oh well.
