Kirk BL-P1 L-Bracket Quick Release Plate f/ the Olympus E-P1

The Kirk BL-P1 L-Bracket is a compact and rugged quick release plate that is custom designed to snugly fit the tiny Olympus E-P1 "Pen" camera.  This plate fits the Arca-type standard, meaning it fits into quick release adapters using the Arca-Swiss standard.  Kirk Enterprises makes a fine quick release clamp, amongst many companies in the market offering them.  Given this Olympus' diminutive stature, you could use Kirk's light 1" or 1.75" long Arca-type clamps.

Machined from a single piece of 6061T6 industrial-strength aluminum, the BL-P1 fits like a glove and does not block any controls.  You'll never need to take it off the camera.

Any user of the E-P1 can appreciate weight savings while still seeking sharp images, and traveling with a vertical L-bracket saves you some weight because you can use smaller tripods and still achieve sharp images when the camera is in the vertical orientation.  This is because the camera stays centered over the center of the tripod support.  Beyond the ability to get away with a smaller tripod, an L-bracket also allows you to quickly exchange between horizontal and vertical images without needing to adjust any positions of the tripod head.
