Markins L-bracket for Nikon Df (PN-Df, LN-Df)

Forget about PU-40 on Nikon Df camera.
Here goes series of photos of Markins PN-Df, LN-Df plate designed for Nikon Df camera.

Main shot in vertical orientation on Markins Q10 ball head.

With 50mm 1.4G lens, it stands. 

Some shots around the L-bracket. 





L-bracket in action (landscape mode) 









L-bracket in action (Portrait mode and with left doors open) 



The front and back flanges of the plate slide with the camera and work as a guide to hold the camera securely.
You can use cable release freely in this setup. 



It fits both the front and back part of the camera. 








Hold the camera as it shoots, the left hand comfortably fit in as there is reserved room for the palm to go in.

Sony A7 with Markins PS-A7 LS-A7 plate, PU-40 at LA-EA4 adaptor

Photo update for Markins PS-A7 and LS-A7 for Sony A7/7R camera. 




With Sony LA-EA4 adaptor with 85mm lens. 
I tried Markins PU-40 and would recommend it. 
Because of the unusual form factor of the LA-EA4 design, PS-A7 has to be removed to attach other plate (PU-40) and use it with quick shoe. (If you are hand holding, PS-A7 can stay there.)

Canon EF 600mm f/4 L IS I USM lens foot replaced with Markins LC-60

Lowering the mass center helps reduce vibration in a long teleport lens like Canon 600mm f/4 lens (IS 1 USM version in photo)
Markins LC-60 is for Canon's long teleport lens which replaces the original higher foot to a lower foot. 


The replaced foot goes inside the reversed hood.

Sony A7R with Markins PS-A7 and LS-A7


Sony A7R, equiped with Markins PS-A7 plate and LS-A7 part for L-plate functionality.
It fits slim and nice with strap hole near to batter cover door.
Battery can be replaced and the read LCD display can be tilted.
I found many friends love this version of plate for Sony A7 and A7R.

Sony RX-10 with Markins LU-100 L-plate

Recently I had a chance to put the Markins LU-100 L-plate on a new Sony RX-10 camera.
It fits quite nicely on RX-10 even though the tilting of a rear LCD display is not applicable.

For the recently released Canon 70D camera,
Markins PU-40 plate fits.
To get the most out of the enhanced video feature of such camera,
I think a good support is a necessity, such as Markins BV-Head.

If you have Markins PU-40, you could later use it for Canon 5D MKII also.
