FITTEST DBLP01 Universal Quick Release L Plate/L Bracket for Manfrotto 200PL-14 RC2 Head

It truly does fit my Manfrotto quick release plates and the L-bracket is easy to use. A plus is that my camera strap attaches easily to the bend and stays clear of the mounting needs. The only minor drawback with my Olympus OMD E-M1M3 is that I have to loosen the bracket and pivot it to get the battery out. It works for me, glad that I found it!

I purchased the L Bracket to be used with a Manfrotto befree tripod. It snaps into position, but does not stay secured. Tried many times without success. The plate that comes with the tripod works great, but not the Universal Bracket. Others seem to be happy with the L Bracket, and at least one made the same observation as me.

I was very pleased with the quality of this L-bracket--however, I would not recommend it for a Nikon D750 as the length of the plate blocks access to the battery compartment, requiring that the bracket be removed each time you need to change batteries. Sure wish there were optional bracket sizes for various size cameras. (Also, I did notice that hex key got stuck in two of the set screws for the slide plate and was difficult to remove, but that was of minor concern to me.) **This review was written for the DBLP01 model L-backet, but is showing up for the MFT-1. I have not used the MFT-1 version.

Solid mount! Well made and designed. Works great for what I do! I wish you made one for larger older Manfrotto 3055 tripod head, with the hexagon quick release plate. That would be a beast! I would buy it in a nano second!

Bought this in the hope of saving some money vs a real Manfrotto per some earlier reviews. It attaches to my D800e perfectly and the method to customize it to the camera was nice but I find the R2 mount to my Manfrotto tripod is a little too loose for my liking. It would be fine with use of a remote trigger or portraits but there is play in the mount to tripod that is too much for me. Probably like an 1/8 inch. I like astro photography and long exposures. The tripod mount is secure and not worried about falling but there is some movement. Will be returning.

I love it. I hate it. Finally a cost effective LBracket for Manfrotto. However. The Vertical side of the bracket does not allow proper access to connecting remotes. It is essentially 1 inch too high to allow full access to contral attachments . I will not be able to use my remote trigger. :-( The design team should consider making the opening bigger by 1 inch to allow full access to all control attachments, and give a bit more space on the slide it away from the camera to fit attachments. I am a canon 5dm3.

This L plate is all metal and fits perfect and steady on my Manfrotto X PRO fluid head. Highly recommended.

Works well with canon 70d. I can still use my 90’ release. Locks in tight. Portrait to landscape quick.
