The BGX1-L L-Plate for Panasonic Lumix GX1 from Really Right Stuff is a modular design composed of a base plate and an L-Component. Therefore, both parts create an L-Plate, and the L-plate can be changed while on top of a tripod, from a vertical to a horizontal position without sacrificing your center of axis.
The L-Plate maintains complete access to the battery door and the camera's ports. Both parts can be separated slightly, and re-tightened with the included hex key if more room is needed for your tethering or cable release. Furthermore, there is no obstructing of the camera's LCD monitor, and the plate itself is resistant to scuffs and scratches because of type II black anodizing.
