I know they are popular, but I just don't "get" the L bracket. They
are big, ugly and seem like they would be uncomfortable to grab. The
reasons that people give for them just don't make sense to me.
The reason I have seen most often is that if your ballhead is not
perfectly level and you flip it to the side it will not be exactly 90
degrees and you will have to reframe. I can't imagine not reframing
going from a horizontal to a vertical shot.
Some have said that it eliminates the unstable offset. It seems to be
considered seriously, you need a better ballhead if it will not hold
a camera and small lens to the side. Any lens heavy enough to cause
instability should have its own foot.
So why would anyone want an L bracket?
