3 Legged Thing refreshes original L-Bracket range
3 Legged Thing has updated its original L-bracket to version QR11 2.0. Available in two sizes – QR11-L 2.0 for standard mirrorless and DSLR cameras, and QR11-FB 2.0 for full-body and gripped cameras – the new L-brackets features numerous enhancements:
- Ever-conscious of customers’ desire to save weight, 3LT have created a refined shape that has reduced the weight compared to the original QR11.
- With an industry-standard 38mm Arca-Swiss-compatible plate profile, the base now has cut-outs to give users better access to open tilt screens, whilst retaining the adjustable position of the camera screw, for optimal fitting and battery door access.
- The 3M textured rubber pads embedded in the base ensure the QR11 2.0 securely grips the camera base and stops movement once in place.
- The QR11 2.0’s vertical aspect now includes two ¼”-20 accessory attachment points at the base. The vertical aspect can also be reversed to move the attachment points and give users better access to side ports, depending on the configuration of the camera used.
- QR11 2.0’s base also features a dual ¼”-20 and 3/8″-16 thread that can be used to attach accessories when used in portrait orientation.
“The original QR11 was very much a test product to see if this was a market sector we could succeed in,” said Danny Lenihan, founder and CEO, 3 Legged Thing, “I could never have imagined the level of demand that we created with this simple, effective tool, and the opportunities it would open for us further down the line with Canon, Nikon, Fujifilm, and Sony. There’s something quite beautiful about the simplicity of the original QR11, and so we took all the positive aspects of this phenomenal, global success and re-engineered it to create a sexier, more innovative and versatile product than ever before.”
Available in 3LT’s two signature L-bracket colors, Copper and Metallic Slate Grey, the QR11 2.0 L-brackets are available online and in stores with a suggested retail price of £49.99 / US $59.99 / €49.99 for the QR11-L, and £59.99 / US$69.99 / €58.33 for the QR11-FB.
