The L-plate has been custom-made for the Olympus OM-3 and is crafted from solid, hard-anodized aluminum. The L-brackets are fully compatible with all Arca-Swiss quick-release systems and feature a perfect fit that prevents twisting between the camera and the plate. The side Arca rail (removable if desired) allows for quick switching to portrait orientation on your tripod. The constant need to attach and detach a quick-release plate is eliminated, as your camera is always ready for mounting on the tripod. The ergonomically rubberized grip extension provides better handling of your camera. The LPO-OM-3 bracket includes a standardized 1/4 inch threaded screw for mounting on the bottom of the camera. A magnetic mount integrates a functional tool as well as various connection options into the base plate.
