Benro have announced the BLB1 Univeral L Bracket, which they say helps keep the centre of gravity directly over the tripod when shooting and helps to minimise adjustment time between portrait and landscape shooting. 

One image can change us.

A picture, a moment can change the way we feel. Change how we see ourselves. Change our understanding and change the rules. Provoke and change history.

MPB puts photo and video kit into more hands, more sustainably. Every month, visual storytellers sell more than 20,000 cameras and lenses to MPB. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth. Sell the kit you’re not using to MPB. Trade in for the kit you need to create. Buy used, spend less and get more. Buy. Sell. Trade. Create.

By keeping the centre of gravity over the tripod, it's much more supported and this helps to deliver sharper images. 

"In traditional tripod head and camera combinations, adjusting the head to get from landscape to portrait mode results in the camera being less supported. It is essentially ‘hanging off’ the head rather than sitting directly on it and the tripod, which can reduce the camera stability and impact the quality of resulting images. The BLB1 keeps the camera weight over the tripod and head at all times."

The bracket is Arca-compatible offering a quick-release system that makes attaching camera to tripod quick and easy, reducing the time it takes to start shooting and enabling photographers to quickly react when working against the clock. Furthermore, it wraps around the camera body providing an extra layer of protection to precious kit. The camera can be set down, packed away and carried around with other kit with less risk of damage to its outer shell.

The BLB1 Benro Universal L Bracket is available to purchase now from Benro Authorised Stockists nationwide, priced at £50.00 RRP inc. VAT.
