Looking for an "L" bracket for K3 that will accomodate 2 QR plates. Does the RRS fit this need?

What sort of QR plates?
ArcaSwiss?
If so it looks like the RRS L Plate has two ArcaSwiss plates built-in.

Is this what you're looking at?

Yep, that's the one Bert. I'm looking for a way to have one Arca-Swiss plate (bottom), and a place on the side to mount a different type of QR plate that I have (non Arca-Swiss).

Interesting...
Using two different tripods?

No, one QR plate is for my B-Grip. This plate does fit my Sirui head, but not as well as I'd like. No problem changing the QR plates on the camera when I use my tripod, but last night happened to think of an "L" bracket to use both plates.

I see...
Wouldn't it hang funny from the side rather than bottom?

So you want one without built in QR plates then?
Can't think of any of the top of my head - sorry.

**csa** · 03-02-2016, 09:04 AM

No, it would hang just fine from the side; as the side and the bottom/to top of camera both are right at 4".

The RRS plate has a screw hole to put another QR plate on the side but it is quite of-center.

Some Sunwayfoto L-plates have holes in the center of the side for another QR plate, I've found one for the K-5 (DPL-02) and one for the K-7 (DPL-04) but none for the K-3, maybe the K-5 one fits?

Good luck finding one

Hey thanks Bert! I'll look at the screw hole on the side of the RRS, and see if it might work.

**csa** · 03-02-2016, 09:34 AM

Thanks, but I don't want a vertical shoot bracket, rather the arca swiss bracket on bottom of camera and the Din plate on the side of the bracket.

Okay, I deleted that post.

I really appreciated your suggestion; perhaps others might have liked your link.

Okay. The following L plate I have used with my K-5IIS and K-3II.

Thanks for reposting the link, others may be looking for just this item!

Because of Bert's suggestion, I've decided to give this one a try, it's a universal fit, so hope it will work ok on my K3.
