I'll check it out, thanks!
Any idea if it works with the Canon lens adapter, with the tripod mount attached?
Are you talking about attaching an L-bracket to the mount adapter?
No, I was talking about attaching it to the body, and just leaving it there.
I occasionally use the Sigma 18-35 with the M6, and mount it to the tripod via the adapter because that's a heavy lens, and I just didn't want to keep having to remove the L-Bracket, especially in the field.
If you had an anti-rotation thing in place, I don't see why not.
If you mean a conventional setup, where the bracket is attached to the base of the camera, the dimensions of the M6 mkII are a big constraint. The distance from the rear of the tripod foot of the adapter to the edge of the LCD, which needs to swing free, is only 28mm, but an Arca rail is 39mm.
And even if you can attach it, the mount foot will almost certainly obstruct the clamp on your tripod.
For that, it would be best to just detach the foot.
I actually have a mini mount on there, right now, that leaves a gap about the width of a piece of paper between it, and the foot, without obstructing the screen, but yeah... It looks like most of the L-Brackets out there are a little too wide.

This works fine for normal tripod use, but I was considering picking up a wider EF-M mount lens to do sweeping, vertical time lapse shots, and wanted to be able to mount the camera with an L-Bracket.
But so far most of the suggestions I'm getting are for universal brackets which, as we know, block access to the battery/card door
Looks like I might have to forego the EF-M lens, pick up another EF/EF-S and just buy/fashion a bracket to attach to the adapter foot, instead.
