Is there a single L-bracket for the A7R5 that works with a Peak Design Clip?

[poipoipoi_2016]

So I've been looking for an L-bracket for the A7R5 that is compatible with leaving a Peak Design Clip on the camera.

Smallrig used to have one, but they discontinued it in favor of the folding one.

See that perfect hole location? Why was this ever discontinued? I can't find anything that replaces it. Official, Chinese, Ebay for that specific discontinued model....

Is there anything I'm missing? Anyone downgrading from Sony E and wants to help someone out? I'll even buy your A7R4 and send it off for infrared conversion as long as I can steal the plate?

Here's a generic L-bracket with an integrated Capture plate:

The older, nonfolding version of the A7R V L-bracket (with 1/4-20 threaded holes that should allow attaching a Capture plate) seems to be available here:

And bought 2. Just in case one breaks.

That's exactly what I've been looking for.

I ditched L brackets in favour of the Silence Corner Atoll. It is supposedly compatible with the Peak Design Clip I haven't tried it.

Not to derail the thread, how do you like this Silence Corner Atoll? Looks like a good idea but couldn't gauge how stable this would be.

I love it, stability wise I am not sure I would use it with a heavy or long lens but otherwise fine. The heaviest lens I use with it is around 650g. It seems stable enough to me. Mine stays on my camera all the time and takes minimal extra room in the camera bag, much less extra space than an L bracket.

One small gripe is that you have to set the Atoll so that you can access the lens release button which means it is set quite far from the camera body. I have just bought a Viltrox 16 1.8 and when mounted it is almost too tight against the ring of the Atoll. I believe version 2 is a better design with cutouts for the lens release button and extra supports between ring and camera body. I may well end up.buying the V2.

Other than that I no longer have problems accessing the side ports, I can go from landscape to portrait in a split second and if I want to hang my camera underneath my tripod I can keep the camera in a normal operating orientation i.e. the LCD screen on the back is no longer upside down.

I do a fair amount of long exposures with it mainly for astro.

Found this thread as part of my search, too What I found is that the 3660 L-Bracket that you mentioned is not discontinued at all, it's just no longer sold in the U.S. Not sure why, but I'm sure it has something to do with the QR receptor probably angering RRS? That's just conjecture, of course, but it is interesting to see that any Smallrig products that seem remotely similar to RRS designs (even though I'd argue that the 3660 is a better design in some specific ways) tend to all disappear from the U.S. market after a few months to a year, so RRS must be monitoring SmallRig and filing patent suits or other lawsuits.

Anyway, you can still easily get the 3660 on Ebay or from SmallRig's website directly: https://www.smallrig.com/smallrig-l-bracket-for-sony-alpha-7-iv-alpha-7-siii-alpha-1-3660.html - it no longer explicitly says that it's for the A7R V, but all the marketing material says it is and they even confirm it in the Q&A.
