Trying to source L Bracket for my new Q2. Really Right stuff seems to be highly recommended but what a price and cannot source one in this country. Has anyone any ideas or alternative recommendations please.

Hi Skyerocket,

I'm using this one: JJC HG-Q2 Leica Q2 Hand Grip, Arca Swiss Type Quick Release

visible on Ebay or Amazon.

Not too expensive and satisfying tool for me.

Hope this help.

Haven’t used the Q2 on a tripod yet.  When the time comes it’ll be with this:

Very handy.

It is unfortunate they are not available there.  Once you use the RRS, you will order for all your other cameras too 😊  Down to the smallest details they are wonderful design.

Thanks too everyone who contributed,

B&H has a used one on sale right now. I've bought a used RRS Q2 L-plate from BH before and I like it very much. Use it mostly for video and the fit is spot on.

I've got RRS gear on all my cameras and lens, you soon forget the price once you use them, they are GOOD - it's that simple.

 

cheers

Where do you live?

In the UK, I chose Ellie by Three-legged Thing. Excellent design and manufacture, adaptable to many models. I do not have the Q2, but I sure it is within its range. Check their site.

3LT are nice....but they don't give access to battery and card

RRS is indeed the best and most expensive. LIM's  has a AS bracket with case, and then there are some of those copy-cat Chinese companies, making something very similar (duh) to the RRS...eBay or Amazon might carry them ofcourse - just a matter of search

I am surprised there are not more recommendations for this one per @papimuzo

JJC HG-Q2 Leica Q2 Hand Grip, Arca Swiss Type Quick Release.

This is a well made bit of kit with access to both battery and card as well as having the Arca release.

I have this and whilst I have mostly reverted to the Leica grip (purely for vanity), this is a better value offering, especially too against the RRS price.

This is not a true L-Bracket. Its description is misleading.

found a used RRS - so the Q2 lims case has to go - anyone interested?
