Giottos MH-680 VR Sliding Plate Review

Through my quest for a low cost Arca-Swiss® compatible vertical L bracket, in order to create a panorama setup, I came across this universal L bracket by Giottos®. Giottos names this L bracket as a Virtual Reality (VR) Sliding Plate.


The "L" dimensions are 175 X 175 mm (6.89 X 6.89") quite capable of accommodating even large Pro camera bodies or cameras with a battery grip, but the thickness of the structure does not inspire the rigidity required for a heavy weight champion.
