Aram Langhans Posted January 2, 2024 Share #1 Posted January 2, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) I just received a notice from RRS that the Q3 L bracket is available for pre-order. I have been waiting for this and bugging them every month or so since June. Here is the link.

RRS is the only game in town for that at this point for the Q3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miltz Posted January 3, 2024 Share #4 Posted January 3, 2024 At 116 grams it’s going to add too much weight for me personally. I can just turn my camera into portrait on my ball head. Not sure I see the value here. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I switch between portrait and landscape orientations a lot and it is a lot faster with an L bracket. Once the tripod head is level it is fast to do the switch. Have used the RRS bracket on three Nikons and on my Q2. Too bad I could not adapt the Q2 bracket to the Q3. Did not feel like grinding away on it too much and making it look like crap.

Einst_Stein Posted January 4, 2024 Share #6 Posted January 4, 2024 Q3 only needs the L grip for handheld except for selfie. I doubt you would have trouble with most ball head. However, if the price is right or there is justifiable extra quality, I don’t mind the U-grip. RRS does not justify for me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The JJC HG-Q3 Arca Swiss mount is my choice for looks and light-weight. The RRS "L" is heavy and looks "added" on to such a small camera. However if Portrait orientation on a tripod is your requirement(often) then RRS is a better choice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Einst_Stein Posted January 4, 2024 Share #8 Posted January 4, 2024 It really depends on which camera and how you use it. Only the individual can determine. If it is S3, I would say U grip is much preferred to L grip. If it is Q3, the difference could be ignorable. I guess the weight issue is not as important as price and availability. But hey, it is not my money, my word is not important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
