This L bracket has several nice innovations and is quite compact and lightweight. Unfortunately its specifications or manufacturing tolerances make it slide through my Leofoto LH-30 and RRS clamps. The Leofoto clamp does have an adjustment screw, but when I adjust it to firmly grip the Rogeti, it won't close down on my RRS and SmallRig L brackets. I'm going to have to buy a screw knob plate (which I dislike) to use the Rogeti.
Because it was out of stock at B&H, I ordered it directly from Rogeti. The cost to ship it back exceeds its price.
Hi there, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear about the fitting issues.
ROGETI quick-release plates and L-brackets use the standard Arca specification. Many people assume that a measured width of 38mm on a caliper represents the standard, ignoring a crucial dimension of the dovetail clamp: the distance between the intersection of the bevel extension line and the base, which is 41mm. To merge the angle lock and clamp into the same layer on the tripod head, some manufacturers have widened this distance. However, this design not only compromises dimensional consistency across different brands—requiring wider or thicker dovetails to accommodate this specific clamp size—but also reduces the diameter of the internal locking ring on panoramic bases. This significantly lowers the locking force, especially during vertical shooting. Although many manufacturers claim to follow the 'Arca standard,' they actually do not. This lack of consistency leads to cross-brand compatibility issues, where lever-release clamps sometimes fail to achieve a secure lock on plates Arca-standard.To address this issue, since lever clamps cannot be easily adjusted, most manufacturers resort to increasing the dovetail size, causing plates to grow larger and larger over time. Therefore, lever-style clamps struggle to accommodate all Arca-style dovetail plates, which is one of the key reasons our tripod heads insist on using screw-knob clamps. Thank you very much!

Excellent construction and functionality.
The plate does what it's supposed to do and hold the camera tight. I the levels on the plate. The one concern is the screen it is a flathead rather than hex wrench I wonder if it will come loose much more frequently.
Great item…. Well made and finish . Fits the X2D2 perfectly . Importantly can access the door for usb C and remote input socket. Only downside was it did not have the red detail that the photos have of the product.
