I've been using a Dolica ZX600B300 tripod for the last year and have gotten into doing a lot of panoramas. While the ball head and legs are great for panos when shooting the camera horizontally, having the camera vertical with my 200mm 2.8 makes it feel like it could tip over. I would like to change over and get an L bracket for my Canon 5d Mkii. I've been trying to find out weather my clamp could take arca plates and it sounds like it can not and sense all L brackets are for arca plates, this causes a problem.
I'm looking for a new clamp to put on top of my ball head and I'm wondering what ones will fit and work best. I'm also wondering what would be a good L bracket for a non gripped 5d mkii. The RRS ones look great but there prices are a bit high, I found this one on ebay from china that looks like it would do a good job, it can still use the cable release when shot in portrait. http://www.ebay.com/itm/L-shaped-Vertical-Quick-Release-Plate-Camera-Holder-for-Canon-EOS-5D-Mark-II-/281230948986?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_2&hash=item417aabba7a
