Leofoto LPS-A9 Combo L-plate for Sony A9, A7 III and A7R III camera body
The sturdy Leofoto LPS-A9 Combo L-Plate for the Sony A9 and A7 Mark III system cameras is particularly lightweight because the base plate and the L-Plate are both CNC machined from a single piece of aluminium. As a result, there is no more metal present than necessary, while the Combo L plate does not lose any of its strength. The two parts are attached to each other with a solid hexagonal screw, but you can also use just the base plate. The LPS-A9 Combo L-plate is black anodised for high durability.
Arca Swis compatible Combo L-plate
Leofoto has provided the LPS-A9 with V-shaped Arca-Swiss quick release grooves, making this Combo L-plate Arca-Swiss compatible for both horizontal and vertical use. The Combo L-plate measures 138mm x 62mm x 62mm and weighs 76 grams. You can change batteries and attach cables when the L-plate is mounted under your Sony A9, A7 III or A7R III camera, as Leofoto has made openings in the L-plate for space to the battery door and cable ports. You can also attach a wrist strap to the special eye on the base plate.
An L-plate for ease of use
An L-plate or L-bracket can maximize the stability and ease of use of your camera on a ballhead when changing from a horizontal (landscape) to a vertical (portrait) shooting position. Thanks to the L-plate, the optical axis of the lens is always positioned directly over the centre of the ball when shooting portraits, and the camera weight also presses directly on the central axis of the ballhead. The Arca-Swiss quick-release coupling also allows you to shift the camera on the ballhead for perfect positioning in relation to the subject. Leofoto supplies specially adapted L-plates for specific camera models, both for DSLR cameras and for compact system cameras and digital compact cameras. As soon as new cameras appear on the market, Leofoto designs a new L plate for that special camera model.
