Leica Guy Posted February 22, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 22, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) I've been trying for the past year to obtain an "L" bracket for the Q. I checked with Really Right Stuff and they have no plans to offer one. I should have looked on eBay a long time ago. Two weeks ago I found what looked like it might be a good fit for the Q on eBay. I received it today and all I can say is WOW. Fit's great for a non-custom item. I will replace the screw they use with a higher quality one, but the actual bracket is a winner best i can tell. The entire cost was less than $10 and it arrived very promptly considering it came from China. I figured I could risk $10 to just see if it worked and I'm pleasantly surprised. FYI.

Good news...also just curious, why have you put Black Tape on Hood? to avoid scratches or for some other reason? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted February 22, 2017 Author Share #3 Posted February 22, 2017 Good news...also just curious, why have you put Black Tape on Hood? to avoid scratches or for some other reason? I put tape on the hood and the top of the camera. Simply to prevent scratches. I don't use a hood so I never have any protection on the hood. I do use a UV filter on the lens. I love the Q, but I also view it as a tool. I kind of like it being a little stealth. Not shiny and new looking. Totally personal preference. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iduna Posted February 24, 2017 Share #4 Posted February 24, 2017 Thanks for the information. In fact, I visited the Chinese section on the Photokina in Cologne last year and found one company producing those brackets for all types of cameras. The Q was then not on their list but they said it will only be a matter of time. The stuff looked very reliable and certainly I'll buy one. Please keep us informed how it works. Good shots with it!

pop Posted February 26, 2017 Share #7 Posted February 26, 2017 Advertisement (gone after registration) What is the utility of this bracket ? You can mount the camera on a matching quick release tripod head in portrait orientation. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leica Guy Posted February 26, 2017 Author Share #8 Posted February 26, 2017 You can mount the camera on a matching quick release tripod head in portrait orientation. Exactly. I've used them for over a decade on DSLR's. All of my 5 tripods have the Arca-Swiss standard mount that these clamp in to. It's just easy once you standardize if you have multiple cameras and tripods. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

reynoldsyoung Posted July 15, 2017 Share #11 Posted July 15, 2017 If you want a simple Arca-Swiss style quick release system, the Really Right Stuff B9E plate works well on the Q. I have it mounted on the bottom of the grip plate: Hope this is helpful. Welcome, dear visitor!

junbobby Posted August 1, 2017 Share #17 Posted August 1, 2017 Ordered that, junbobby....a terrific solution!! Many thanks for this!! NP. Wow the bracket actually looks great and functional. How is fitment? Is that a padding between the bracket and the camera? Set up really looks great! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
reynoldsyoung Posted August 3, 2017 Share #18 Posted August 3, 2017 No padding between the camera and the bracket. You could add a bit, but IMHO it is unnecessary as the fit is perfect. You may be able to see in the attached photo a small gap between the side bracket and the camera. Perfect...no marks on the camera at all. Welcome, dear visitor!

higa Posted June 22, 2019 Share #19 Posted June 22, 2019 Sorry for necro posting, but anyone with this Fittest Leica Q L-bracket and grip, know if the grip is removable? I looked at the online pictures and I can't tell. Soem of their Fuji brackets looks like the grip is held on by screws and can be removed but I can't tell with the Leica Q version.
