I had started a post and then lost it while trying to check something. So here goes agiain.
This is an interesting thread as I have been thinking about an L bracket. Obviously needs careful consideration.

Previously used the joint on the tripod head to alter the orientation which leaves one still having to fiddle the levelling. Since getting Peak Design things - specifically their 'Capture' clip - I have decided to standardise on the Arca-Swiss quick release plates after finding a slide on plate was not firm on a tripod. I am awaiting one of their tripods I supported through Kickstarter (70th B'day present to myself). I like their things and their ethos even though prices are rel. high especially since this Brexit nonsense started.
Mike

And don't forget to tell them that it needs more 'adjustability'!

But getting back to the original thread... I have received the first part of my L-bracket bits purchase from China, the 'tripod mount turnie thing', as I shall call it. It is extremely well made for the couple of quid that it cost me, so I am really happy so far.

Once I have received the full amount of bits I will give it a good go before reporting back with my thoughts on whether to buy cheap or if you can afford it buy the more expensive branded bits.
