Bought L Bracket
Jul 24, 2013 17:45:58 #
Looking for a Kirk, Markin or Arca Swiss L bracket for my Nikon d5100. These are camera specific, so not just any bracket will do.
Thanks, Joe

Just go to their websites and you should find your camera listed. ProMediaGear too, has very nice L brackets, I use one of theirs and it's a high quality item.

Thanks, but was looking for a used one. Just thought someone might be upgrading and have the bracket and would be willing to sell it at a fair price. Adorama has the Kirk for $110, but that sure seems like a lot of money for a piece of metal. Just saying........

I got mine for $139 at ProMediaGear brand new, that's 50.00 below what I would have to pay for a Kirk, or Really Right Stuff.

Checked on their site and they don't have one for the 5100. Adorama has the Kirk for my camera @ $110.00, but again, was looking for a used one at a lesser price. Might get lucky. Missed one on ebay that went for $60.

Thanks Bill, but it has to fit the d5100. I've been on ebay everyday looking. KEH sold one 2 weeks ago on ebay and I got outbid at the last second. Normally, I don't miss, but made a stupid mistake on this one. Went for $60 and it was a Kirk, specifically for the 5100. May not see one again any time soon. They are hard to find.

If anyone has this bracket and either has sold the camera or doesn't use it for whatever reason, please drop me a line. I will pay a fair price for it.
Thanks
Thanks

Adorama had the least expensive at $110. Found one on Amazon and should be here next week for $67. Will do a review on this L bracket on my new Benro B2 ballhead when I receive the bracket.

Well, received my new L bracket by Sunwayfoto. Took it out of the box and first impressions were great. Well made, looked professional and had a lip to hold in place on bottom of camera with a nice 1/4" attachment screw. Now for the rest of the story: Once fitted on the camera, I could not open the side flap to install my cable for my remote shutter and also could not open the battery box. Bummer! If you don't care about having that accessibility, than purchase this bracket. Great item for the money. However, I need to be able to use my remote, etc., so product was mailed back today. Ordered my Kirk L bracket from Adorama and swallowed hard on the $110 for a piece of aluminum. Grrrrrrrrr
Hope this helps someone else who is getting ready to pull the plug on one of these.
