Following the release of the mirrorless cameras from Canon, the EOS R5 and R6, 3 Legged Thing was inundated with requests from customers to create a dedicated L-bracket that would fit the new camera models.
L-brackets enable the user to quickly switch their camera from landscape to portrait orientation on a tripod, whilst maintaining focal plane, a level horizon, and the weight above the centre canopy of the tripod - which is the most stable position.
Thanks to cooperation with Canon UK, 3 Legged Thing was able to design Roxie – an Arca-Swiss compatible L-bracket that is perfectly contoured to fit both camera models, and provide easy access to ports on the side of the camera, the battery door, strap lugs and lens release button. Precision milled from aerospace grade magnesium alloy, and available in 3 Legged Thing’s signature L-bracket colours – Copper, and Metallic Slate Grey.
“This is the first time we’ve co-operated with Canon on a project, and for me it’s been an absolute success,” commented Danny Lenihan, Founder and CEO of 3 Legged Thing. “The growth of L-Brackets as a modern photography tool, and the demand for our myriad of solutions has been an incredible platform for our growth. Roxie is a fantastic addition to our portfolio, and I’m really pleased to be able to finally bring this long-awaited product to market.”
As the Roxie is dedicated to the EOS R5 and R6, it enables the users to open the screen at the rear of the camera, and use it in upright or tilted positions, thanks to a carefully placed cut-out in the side of the Roxie bracket. This offers photographers the maximum versatility without having to remove the L-bracket from their camera.
The Roxie L-bracket features two ¼”-20 threads for attachment of accessories such as lights or monitors which is ideal for videographers. Roxie’s base also features an additional ¼”-20 thread which can be used for single point strap attachments.
Roxie is attached to the underside of the camera via a stainless steel camera screw, and the base includes an additional locator pin that fits precisely into the bottom of the camera to stop the bracket from twisting or rotating. Both the vertical and horizontal aspects feature steel security pins to give users additional security when attaching to their tripod.
Roxie is available both online and in retail stores with a suggested retail price of £89.99
