The new PSL-A6300 L bracket is very similar in design to the one targeted for the a6000, the PSL-A6000R (preview), which somehow at first glance look identical but actually differ in many details from each other.
Further, although the model name now lacks the letter "R" at the end, compatibility with the RRS® Lever Release Clamps is maintained as a standard feature.

| Manufacturer Specification: | |

| Model: | PSL-A6300 |
| Length: | 93 mm |
| Width: | 39 mm |

Needless to remind the readers that as all Sunwayfoto products the Sunwayfoto PSL-A63000 is CNC machined from aircraft grade aluminium and hard coat anodized in satin black.
The base plate of the PSL-A63000 is almost identical to the former PSL-A600R and relies on a ridge running across its front side preventing twisting. The off center pod mounting hole with 1/4"-20 thread and a strap loop on the open end of the base plate are still there. Same as the mounting screw captive slot which runs 23 mm long, enables the L bracket to be pulled away from the camera side for use of longer plugs in the camera side connectors.

Much like most of Sunwayfoto L brackets for SONY the PSL-A6300 sports aligned base plate and vertical side plate dovetails. A fact, which combined with center Φ marks on both plains proves very convenient in changing from horizontal to vertical orientations since no correction in framing will be needed whatsoever.

The PSL-A6300 vertical plate is attached on the base plate via a single screw, which makes it very easy to be removed anytime, using one the included Allen hex key.
The vertical plate has a threaded hole on one end, where one of the safety stop screws may be installed . Further, there is a cut on the top left corner of the vertical plate making it thinner so as to allow for the side connector flaps to be opened while the bracket sits flush against the camera side.

The bottom side of the base plate stops just before the battery door allowing for easy access and is hollowed out making the structure lighter.
The usual two safety stop screws holes are there allowing for two M3 screws to be installed at either end of the base plate.
