Leofoto LPO-OM-3 L-bracket for OM System OM-3

Specifically developed for this camera: perfectly fitting L-bracket for your OM System OM-3

Honestly, nothing fits as well as something that’s truly built for one specific model. The Leofoto LPO-OM-3 L-bracket is designed specifically for this camera and hugs your OM System OM-3 as if it were part of the body. No wobbly transitions, no improvising, no fumbling with half-baked universal plates. You mount your OM System OM-3 in portrait or landscape orientation without constantly rebalancing or fiddling with the quick-release clamp. The L-bracket follows the contour of the camera cleanly so that all important controls remain accessible. Swapping memory cards, changing the battery, connecting cables – all of that still works pleasantly straightforward. Especially if you work a lot with a tripod, you’ll notice the difference quite quickly. The camera sits solidly, the center of gravity remains predictable, and you can focus on composition and light instead of the hardware underneath.

Lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum for tough everyday photography

Milled from 6061-T6 aluminum, the Leofoto LPO-OM-3 weighs only about 80 g. That’s practically nothing in your camera bag, but in use it’s a noticeable plus in stability. This material is also used in aircraft construction because it offers a very good ratio of weight to strength. Despite its low weight, the L-bracket feels surprisingly solid. It easily withstands outdoor tours, city walks, studio sessions, and the occasional bump in everyday use. The surface is cleanly anodized, feels high-quality, and is resistant to scratches in normal use. The rubberized, removable grip component ensures that your OM System OM-3 sits even more comfortably in your hand. Especially when you shoot for longer periods or are out and about without a strap, this grip offers extra security and comfort. The camera is less likely to slip, you have more control, and you can even hold it one-handed for a moment without it feeling unsafe.

Arca-style compatible: versatile integration into your tripod setup

If your tripod setup is based on a modern quick-release system, you don’t want to rethink compatibility for every single part. According to the manufacturer, the Leofoto LPO-OM-3 is ARCA compatible and thus integrated into the widely used ARCA system. For more information on ARCA, you can check the dedicated section: ARCA compatible. The clamping profile of the L-bracket fits a wide range of common quick-release clamps. These include, among others, Wimberley clamps, Kirk clamps, Really Right Stuff screw clamps and Really Right Stuff lever clamps, as well as Arca-style compatible (according to the manufacturer) 38 mm quick-release clamps. So if you already use a high-quality tripod system, you can generally integrate this L-bracket easily without having to change your setup. This way you can switch your OM System OM-3 from landscape to portrait in seconds without realigning the camera or adjusting the tripod height. That saves time and nerves and reduces the risk of camera shake, because the camera doesn’t need to be rebalanced when changing orientation.

Thought-out operation with integrated hex key

Small detail, big impact: the integrated hex key is stored directly in the L-bracket. So you no longer have to rummage around in your backpack for tools when you want to adjust or remove the L-bracket. Especially on the go, when things need to move quickly, this is extremely practical. You loosen or tighten the screws directly with the included key, adjust the position, or retighten the connection to the camera. Everything stays compact and together, and nothing gets lost so easily. This type of integrated solution shows that the LPO-OM-3 is not just any plate, but a deliberately well-thought-out accessory for photographers who use their OM System OM-3 regularly and seriously.

Stable alignment in portrait and landscape for precise image composition

If you work a lot with a tripod, you know the problem: you want to switch to portrait orientation quickly, but the camera ends up hanging off the side of the tripod shoulder, everything becomes top-heavy, and alignment suddenly gets tedious. With the Leofoto LPO-OM-3 L-bracket, the camera stays nicely centered over the tripod even in portrait orientation. You simply clamp the side rail into the quick-release clamp and maintain a stable, balanced position. This is not only interesting for long exposures or architectural shots, but also for portraits, product photos, and anything where clean composition is important. Because the L-bracket is precisely tailored to the OM System OM-3, you don’t have to worry about anything slipping or the camera sitting crooked. The contact surfaces are designed so that the camera is securely guided and cannot twist.

Not a universal compromise, but a precise tool for the OM System OM-3

The LPO-OM-3 is deliberately not universal. That may sound limiting at first, but in practice it’s a real advantage. Because that’s exactly what gives you a solution that is perfectly matched to the OM System OM-3. All relevant ports and flaps remain accessible. The shape of the bracket follows the camera instead of just somehow holding it. The result is a more stable connection, better handling, and an overall more harmonious setup. So if you use an OM System OM-3 and run a tripod setup based on ARCA, this L-bracket gives you an accessory that integrates seamlessly into your workflow and genuinely lightens your day-to-day work instead of just “kind of fitting as well.”

Robust construction for outdoors, studio, and everything in between

Whether you’re out in the woods in drizzle, shooting at night in the city, or need reproducible setups in the studio, the LPO-OM-3 takes it all in stride. The combination of 6061-T6 aluminum, clean workmanship, and precise fit ensures that you can focus on what really matters. At around 80 g, it’s barely noticeable during transport, yet reliably solid in use. Especially with longer focal lengths or long exposures, this extra rigidity between camera and tripod is noticeable. Camera shake is reduced, small vibrations are better absorbed, and the camera stays exactly where you want it. All in all, the Leofoto LPO-OM-3 L-bracket for the OM System OM-3 is a very specialized but extremely useful tool. No show effect, no unnecessary frills, but a precisely manufactured part that holds your camera securely and makes your photographic everyday life more pleasant and reliable.
