Markins released an innovative L-bracket (L-plate) for Nikon D4s camera.
This L-bracket consists of two parts, regular base plate and side L-part.

It is the first L-bracket from Markins for a camera with a built-in battery grip.
Unlike other bulky L-bracket designs, it has an unique design around battery door.
So it let the left hand to get closer to lens and occupies less room in your bag.

Markins PF-T1 plate and LF-T1 L-bracket for Fuji X-T1 camera

Markins L-bracket for Fujifilm X-T1 camera

A new Markins plate for Fuji X-T1 camera is now officially released.

Photos are taken with the amazing XF 56mm f1.2 lens on a Markins Q3-TR emille blue version with QL-48 quick release.

The additional weight is 61.5g, which makes this combination to be 954.5g in total.

Just less than 1kg with the hood attached. :-)

 

 

 

Some vertical position shots follows.

Closer look, it has a long flange on front side for anti twist.

Rear view.

Of course, the left door can be opened for HDMI, USB access. 

But I guess it would be rarely used as the WI-FI function with a smart phone is quite usable. 

I believe Fuji will also improve the software as they've done great jobs on past firmware upgrade.

Also battery can be exchanged with the plate on. 
I choose not to use a Fuji vertical battery grip but to get cheaper compatible battery from Wasabi for backup. So far, so good. 
Two slit holes for speak sound output is completely open.
 

Fuji did a better design on LCD tilt than Sony, so it won't be an issue here.
 

Center marks on both landscape and portrait orientation.

Side plate LF-T1 has a room for strap ring attachment.

For hand strap attachmenet, PF-T1 has a cut-in design on the far right side.

 

On the bottom right corner, the edge is carved in to let it feel comfortable to hold while shooting.

With a hood, it stands rather nicely on a flat surface.
