Today, I got L bracket from Kirkphoto for *istD.
Its 5" x 3.25" is size. It does not look big and does not block any control. It says "BL-2 SHORT L-Bracket"
Thanks Ramesh

*ist D specific, it was for any camera that had one of their arca swiss mounting plates.
Even when placing online order for Universal L bracket, we are supposed to mention specific camera model. It means they may be having something specific to *itsD.

Call them and tell them what you have and want. The L bracket I got was not
*ist D specific, it was for any camera that had one of their arca swiss
mounting plates.
