3 Legged Thing Announces Dedicated L-bracket for Nikon Z8
The award-winning British tripod manufacturer adds to its range of dedicated L-brackets for Nikon cameras.
3 Legged Thing is excited to announce its dedicated L-bracket for the Nikon Z8 camera is available starting today from 3LeggedThing.com and 3LT retailers worldwide.
The Arca-Swiss compatible L-bracket, named ZOOEY, is designed to perfectly fit the contours of the Nikon Z8, and gives users full access to the camera's battery door and side ports.
"We've already been inundated with requests for a dedicated L-bracket for the Nikon Z8," said Stuart Boston, Chief Operations Officer, 3 Legged Thing. "With the huge popularity of our other L-brackets for Nikon cameras, customers trust us to provide a high-quality L-bracket that will help them create amazing images. We're happy to bring them this new bracket for the Z8."
Formed from a single piece of anodised aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, ZOOEY has cut-outs in the vertical aspect that enable easy access to the rear tilt screen, camera strap lug, and focus mode button. A rubber bumper is fitted inside the vertical aspect and stops the L-bracket from flexing whilst in portrait orientation.
The base of the L-bracket has a strap attachment lug at one end, and features cut-outs along the base to save weight. It is supplied with a ¼â€-20 Stainless Steel Stagsden camera screw, and the base is fitted with two Stainless Steel security pins. A locator pin fits into the camera's base and stops the L-bracket from twisting or movement once fitted.
ZOOEY will be supplied with an adapter and longer ¼â€-20 Stainless Steel, that enable the L-bracket to be used with the Peak Design ¨ Capture clip system (v3). This offers photographers an alternative way to carry their Nikon Z8 whilst keeping the L-bracket in place on the camera.
Adding to the versatility of the L-bracket, ZOOEY has multiple mounting points for accessory arms. One ¼â€-20 screw thread is in the upright, and two 3/8"-16 screw threads with ¼â€-20 sleeve adapters are in the base. These allow content creators to add lights or monitors to the L-bracket in either landscape or portrait orientation.
L-brackets are an essential piece of kit for photographers and content creators across many genres. They enable quick and easy switching between landscape and portrait orientations on a tripod, whilst keeping the sensor on the same focal plane and maintaining a level horizon. An L-bracket keeps the camera above the tripod's central point, which offers the greatest stability.
ZOOEY is available in 3 Legged Thing's Copper (orange) and Darkness (matte black) colourways, with a suggested retail price of £109.99 / US $129.99. To locate the nearest 3LT retailer, visit www.3leggedthing.com/where-to-buy.
