Leofoto DA-2 cable clamp for L-bracket

Leofoto DA-2 cable clamp for L-brackets, small clamp, big difference

You usually only notice it when a cable slips out of the camera at the wrong moment: HDMI gone, tethering interrupted, sound lost. This is exactly where the Leofoto DA-2 cable clamp for L-brackets comes into play. It reliably keeps your connected cables in place and ensures that you can once again focus on what really matters: your image.

The DA-2 is mounted on the side of your L-bracket and secures up to three cables with a common standard thickness. Whether HDMI, USB or remote release, the clamp keeps them neatly routed, reduces strain on the sockets and thus protects your camera’s sensitive ports from unwanted stress.

Arca-style compatible, secure mounting on your L-bracket

On one side, the Leofoto DA-2 has an Arca-style clamp that is specially designed to be attached to the side rail of an L-bracket. Using the precise screw clamp with grey knob, you can adjust the width of the clamp exactly to the respective L-bracket. This way the cable clamp sits firmly and without play, without wobbling or coming loose unnoticed.

According to the manufacturer, the clamp accepts a 38 mm dovetail in an Arca-style compatible profile, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into many common setups based on this standard. The result: a stable, repeatable positioning of the cable clamp on your camera, without makeshift or improvised solutions.

Arca-style compatible foot, can be used directly on ball head or video head

The other side of the DA-2 is designed as a square, Arca-style compatible foot. This allows you to use the clamp directly on a ball head or video head with a suitable quick-release clamp if required. This is practical when you want to rebuild your rig flexibly or need cable routing at another point in your setup.

The foot is designed to lock snugly into matching Arca-style mounts and can be secured with the existing screw clamp. This ensures a stable connection, even when you pan or tilt the camera or frequently reconfigure your studio setup.

Robust 6061-T6 aluminum, lightweight, stable, suitable for everyday use

The Leofoto DA-2 cable clamp is made from 6061-T6 aluminum, a material that is also frequently used in aircraft construction and high-quality tripod manufacturing. This material offers a very good ratio of weight to stability, is corrosion-resistant and easily withstands the rigors of everyday photography.

Weighing only 80 g, the clamp remains pleasantly light and hardly adds bulk to the rig. At the same time, it feels high-quality, not like a wobbly plastic part. Especially if you are often on location, this combination of robustness and low weight is a real advantage.

Black anodized, unobtrusive look, durable surface

The surface of the DA-2 is black anodized. This anodized layer protects the aluminum from scratches, wear and corrosion and ensures that the clamp still looks good even after frequent use. The matte, dark surface hardly reflects any light and does not stand out in a distracting way on set or in front of the camera.

Especially in video and studio use, this unobtrusive look is pleasant because nothing shines or distracts. The black anodizing also matches most L-brackets, ball heads and camera bodies visually, so your setup looks like it’s all of a piece.

Screw clamp, precisely adjustable and reliable

The Leofoto DA-2 uses a classic screw clamp. The grey knob allows you to adjust the clamp sensitively until it securely grips the L-bracket. This type of clamping may not be the fastest solution in the world, but it is very controllable and stable.

You decide how tightly it is clamped and can adjust the position of the clamp with millimetre precision. This flexibility is particularly helpful if you use different L-brackets or slightly varying Arca-style profiles. Once tightened, the DA-2 stays reliably in place.

Space for three cables, tidy ports instead of cable clutter

The cable clamp provides space for three cables with a standard diameter. In many setups, this is enough for HDMI, USB and an additional control or audio cable. The cables are routed together, which not only looks tidier but also prevents individual leads from snagging or twisting.

Especially when working with external monitors, recorders or tethering to a laptop, this type of cable management is worth its weight in gold. You reduce the pulling forces on the camera’s ports and minimize the risk that a careless step or a small tug will immediately cut the connection.

Compact dimensions, unobtrusive on the rig, quickly stowed away

With a height of 71 mm, a width of 53 mm and a length of 70 mm, the Leofoto DA-2 remains pleasantly compact. It does not protrude excessively from the side of the L-bracket and can easily be stowed in a bag or backpack when not in use.

The proportions are chosen so that you have enough space to grip and adjust it without the clamp covering other controls on the camera. This way, access to buttons, flip-out screen or ports is largely maintained, while the cables are still routed securely.
