Kirk QRLB-T Universal Quick Release Tall L-Bracket
Key Features
  • Efficient Switching to 90° Tilt Mode
  • Two Dovetails for Arca-Compatible Head
  • Arca-Compatible Clamp to Secure Camera
  • Machined Aluminum Construction
The Kirk QRLB-T Universal Quick Release Tall L-Bracket is a dual-sided bracket that mounts to an Arca-Swiss-style clamp in either landscape orientation or tilted 90° for portrait mode. This enables efficient changes in the orientation of your camera, without the need to tilt your ball head and re-level the shot. In contrast to tilting the head 90°, when you tilt the bracket your camera remains centered over the tripod.

To use this bracket, you must already own an Arca-compatible tripod head and a corresponding dovetail plate for the camera. The L-bracket fits between those two elements.

Machined from 6061 T6 aluminum, the QRLB-T bracket clamps to your camera's Arca-compatible dovetail plate. This means you can easily remove your camera from the bracket and shoot handheld by simply turning the quick-release knob on the bracket. Both the horizontal and vertical segments of the bracket feature dovetails that work with the Arca-style clamp of a tripod head. The QRLB-T is designed to accommodate all DSLR and SLR cameras, even those that have a battery grip attached to the bottom.

Kirk QRLB-T Reviews

Normal Kirk Quality

By Perry
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-06-14

This is the usual solidly built quality Kirk product. The clamp has two hex screws and a hex wrench is included and sits within the mount. So, the clamp can be adjusted to give your camera more or less space from the L of the bracket. That's nice. I've used this for two panoramas thus far and it worked fine. I like having simple base plates on my camera instead of L plates becuase L plates on the camera restrict access to the ports. This solved the problem. Before I would change base plates which took some time because I like to have a wrist strap. Now I can do portrait or landscape almost as quickly as having the L bracket on the camera but normally I don't have the extra weight and no restrictions to the ports on the side of the camera.

Sturdy L Bracket

This L bracket works great, considering the one for my camera is no longer available. It is a little bulky on the bottom because you add both halves of the quick release system to the bracket. If one part was manufactured as part of the bracket, it would be more compact. Works well for any camera.

I intend to use this product with my RRS BH-55 Ball Head with Lever-Release Clamp. Are these two compatible with each other? As opposed to the screw knob model, the clamp model is not adjustable. I am worried that the clamp will not close all the way if it’s too tight or it may be a loose fit. Thanks in advance.
Asked by: Al
Yes they will work. I have Kirk plates and also have an RRS lever clamp.
