Once in a while like to use flash bracket when chasing flutterbys, but not
lately as too heavy or inconvenient. If using Lepp II bracket and want to
change to portrait, typically have to turn the cam using an L-bracket with a
mini clamp screwed in the bracket---unless the lens has a tripod mount. The
below gizmo would solve the issue. The gizmo would likely cramp the gripping
space in the A7R series so not sure would want it in lieu of L bracket in other
situations. After the poor experience with kickstarter with the Arsenal
gizmo, I'll wait till it's out. Never try anything when they suggest putting
the thing in the freezer for 20 min to make firmware upgrades go smoothly.

I am sure Dr. No Tripod will get one asap.
