L-bracket for R7 revisited
1

A few weeks ago, I asked a question regarding L-brackets for the R7. At that point, I had an R7 on pre-order. The consensus response was that there wasn't yet a custom L-bracket, which didn't surprise me, since the outfits that design such things probably hadn't yet gotten their hands on R7 samples to design an L-bracket around.

Scanning the Web sites of the usual makers of such things, I still don't see any custom L-brackets for the R7. I'm getting tired of waiting; I now have my R7, and I missed having an L-bracket for it when I did some work the other day with the camera on a tripod.

At this point, I'm willing to try a generic L-bracket for the R7 until a custom-made version appears. I'm aware that a generic L-bracket will probably block my access to the SD card and battery compartments, but that's life.

All I really need an L-bracket for is to provide Arca-Swiss type attachments that will make it easy to mount the camera on a tripod in both portrait and landscape orientations. I don't have much need for attachment points for gadgetry that more-sophisticated camera cages come with.

Can anyone recommend a solid generic L-bracket that will work with the R7?
