Peak Design’s clever new Field Bracket has officially moved beyond its hugely successful Kickstarter campaign and is now available to order, bringing its modular take on the traditional camera L-bracket to photographers using Sony, Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm and Leica cameras. The crowdfunding campaign ultimately raised $678,868, suggesting there is clearly plenty of appetite for an L-bracket that does a little more than simply help you turn your camera sideways.
At its heart, the Field Bracket is still designed to do exactly what you would expect from a good L-bracket, providing Arca-type mounting surfaces for quickly switching between horizontal and vertical tripod shooting. However, Peak Design has made the system modular, with a camera-specific baseplate machined from recycled aluminium and a removable upright section that can be attached, repositioned or removed without having to reach for a collection of tools.
