Does this fit a Mamiya 6/7 and still allow access to the three "buttons" on the bottom of the camera?
Asked by: Bob
The Acratech 1138 Universal L Bracket does not provide access to the three buttons on the bottom of the Mamiya 6/7, as it covers the bottom plate entirely when mounted.

question

Would this fit a 5d mark III with a remote switch cable attached in vertical orientation?
Asked by: Jon
While it would depend on the design of the remote switch plug that you own. However, if the camera is placed toward the end of the bracket, there should be enough clearance for your remote switch to remain connected both in the horizontal and vertical orientations on your tripod head.

question

Is this L bracket perfectly square? Please confirm with an accurate steel carpenter square. Thanks.
Asked by: Anonymous
If you are referring to the base of the bracket being perfectly perpendicular to the arm of the bracket, then yes, it is perfectly square. The L-bracket is precision cut using a C.N.C. machine for accuracy purposes. While B&H does not open new products to ensure they are sold in the condition in which they were received by the manufacturer and we do not perform product testing on items before shipment to customers, if you receive the item and you are unhappy with the item's performance for any reason, do note you would be able to return or exchange the unit during our standard Return Policy period.https://bhpho.to/2bxrYlG
