For a long time I am looking for a good l bracket for my S1Rii.
I really liked using a l bradket with my old S1R and this was always quite handy plus it add even a little bit additional protection.

The only dedicated L bracket I was able to find is this one:

LPP-S1RII - Leofoto

Leofoto was founded at the beginning of 2014. It is located in Zhongshan, beautiful Pearl River Delta area in China. Leofoto team has been designing and manufacturing series of camera support systems by comparing and studying the high-end photographic accessories made in China and abroad and...
www.leofoto.com

Has anyone of your already some experience with this or other L brackets for the S1ii oder S1Rii?
 
Unfortunately Leofoto cannot sell that one in the US because of some patent issues. Which is odd, as no one else has anything for the S1RII/S1II available. As an aside, the battery grip for the S1RII wobbles a bit and never seems to be fully tightened.
 
Really Right Stuff is a US company that makes camera L brackets; I've had good luck with them in the past, but they don't make accessories for Panasonic cameras so I don't use them anymore. However they have a universal L mount that should work okay with the S1RII. If I needed one now that's what I would get.
 
In past for my S1R I bought this one by Amazon.

Not that versatile than the "Leophoto" model. But very precise made, without any wobbling of the battery grip.
I do use it in combination with a tripod and a 3D geared head - Benro GD3WH
The L-bracket do fit the 3D geared head horizontally or vertically - < YouTube demo >

Didn't find yet an L-Bracket for a new S1Rii model.
 
I found a dealer in Germany which had the bracket of Leofoto listed.
I placed and order and they try to get it for me.

I was already scratching my head why the l bracket is not even listed on the Leofoto US website, but sounds logical of there is somehow a patent thing open.

The RRS looks very good too.
I will report how the Leofoto thing is, when and if it arrives....
