ARCA L bracket for GX8?

[JimW-203]

I often work with a tripod and miss the ease of moving from landscape to portrait. Since all my tripods have permanent ARCA adapters on their heads, I would prefer to change the orientation with the plate and not the head. Does anyone have suggestions for an L bracket that would fit the GX8 without negatively impacting camera operation. I realize battery/card access will probably be hindered.

A suggestion: go to local hardware store and buy a L bracket for a couple of £'s, then drill 2 holes where required. They always have loads of different angle brackets and you may even get one with the correct holes if you're lucky.

But if you need a posh purpose made bracket I have no idea. As I nearly always make my own bits.

RRS has a two part L plate. This is the bottom half: http://www.reallyrightstuff.com/product/12601

And then you can also buy the vertical attachment that screws onto the bottom plate. E-mail RRS to be sure you are getting the right parts.
