Decided on the Kirk for its single piece design. Felt like the RRS L-plate might not be as stable. Using on a 5DSR with good fit. Solid.Happy with the purchase.

Love this, perfect fit for Canon 5D Mark III with BG-E11. Can switch from horizontal to vertical on a tripod with no changes to the set up. Bit bulky for street photography but my primary photography is Architectural, Wildlife, Portrait or Landscape. I use Capture Pro with this to move around and there is not issues.

I hesitated for a long time on buying an L-plate because of the expense. In the end I am glad I did it. Having a custom fit L-Plate is much better than a generic. Kirk has done a great job getting this to fit. I do wish the gap around the cable ports on the left side was a bit wider to open the weather seals but it's not a huge issue. This L-Plate makes it very easy to switch camera orientation without having to realign my tripod and the extra frame doesn't hurt in protecting my camera. I'm glad I spent the money and I'd do it again for this. I'm also glad I went for the Kirk brand to be Arca-Swiss compatible with a lot of other tripods.

The Kirk BL-5D3G is an ultra-compact and lightweight L-bracket that is custom designed to snugly fit a Canon 5D Mark III with BG-E11 Camera combination. Machined from one single piece of 6061T6 industrial strength aluminum, it provides full access to all switches, sockets and the battery drawer. This design allows you to release, turn and remount your camera in mere seconds, when switching from horizontal to vertical orientation and back. It is especially ideal for use with shorter macro, wide-angle and tilt-shift lenses.
