Kirk L- Brackets are the best! I won't use any other with my cameras. I got another brand free and do not care for it. Kirks work wonderfully!

This design doesn't have anti-deflection pin at the bottom of the plate but has raised lips instead. Can they damage the camera?
Asked by: Federico
The raised lip on the Kirk L-Bracket for Nikon Z8 design should not damage the camera. They act as stoppers, which do not protrude into the frame of the Nikon Z8 Mirrorless Camera (B&H # NIZ8).

The photo doesn't seem to show a centering mark on the main plate, but only on the vertical extention. Is this accurate?
Asked by: Thomas
The Kirk L-Bracket for Nikon Z8 has a center mark on the vertical plate and two marks that cover the center space of the horizontal plate. The horizontal marks indicate the camera position based on how far out you slide the camera on the screw track.

Is there supposed to be a way to keep the hex key from falling out when not on a tripod?
Asked by: Ryan
There is a smaller set screw on the bottom of the Kirk L-Bracket for Nikon Z8 near the curve of the Allen key; you may be able to loosen that and reset the tension, making it a tighter hold.
