Desmond DAL-1 Reviews

Solid piece

Good to use when you're not using a battery grip and want to tilt the tripod neck with the canera 90 degrees sideways for portrait view. It offers extra support for the camera weight.

This is a universal L bracket and will fit mostly all cameras without a battery grip. You may not have complete access to the battery compartment and or memory slot. You may have to remove the L bracket to access the battery or memory card.

Will this fit the Canon 90D?
Asked by: Micah
The DAL-1 QR L Plate will fit the Canon 90D. Access to the battery compartment will be fine; however, there may not be complete access to the ports on the left end of the 90D. It will depend on the lateral and front/back adjustment the DAL-1 allows. For the price, I would try it. B&H is very good about a return if necessary.

will this work with magnus tripod plate and ...

will this work with magnus tripod plate and bmpc4k?
Asked by: IG
The Desmond DAL-1 QR L Plate is an "Arca Swiss" design. Apparently the Magnus TR-13 and TR-17L with the dual action head are the only "Arca Swiss" compatible Magnus heads. The Magnus BHQR-65 plate is an "Arca Swiss" design and will fit the BMPC4K. The 1/4-20 mounting screw on the DAL-1 QR L Plate moves laterally and if that travel distance is compatible with the dimension from the mounting hole to the left side of the BMPC4K; it will fit.
