Really Right Stuff BGFX-50R L-bracket

Really Right Stuff BGFX-50R L-bracket for FUJIFILM GFX 50R

Out and about with the FUJIFILM GFX 50R and no desire for wobbly improvisations on the tripod? The Really Right Stuff BGFX-50R L-bracket is built exactly for this situation: not a universal part, not a compromise, but a precisely fitting L-plate that was designed specifically for this camera and fits snugly against the body of the GFX 50R. This way the camera sits stable, repeatable, and pleasantly balanced, in landscape as well as in portrait orientation.

Because the L-bracket is not universal but precisely matched to the FUJIFILM GFX 50R, you still have convenient access to all important controls. Memory card slot, ports, battery – everything remains accessible without you constantly having to screw or tinker. Once mounted, the BGFX-50R simply stays on in everyday use and quickly becomes a part of your camera that you won’t want to be without.

Precisely manufactured, made in the USA

Really Right Stuff is known for perfecting things carefully rather than rushing something to market. The BGFX-50R L-bracket is manufactured entirely in the USA and CNC-milled from solid 6061-T6 aluminum. This high-strength aluminum is heat-treated and offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

At only 102 g, the L-bracket remains pleasantly light without feeling unstable. The width of about 13.3 cm, the height of 8.3 cm, and the depth of 5.9 cm are chosen so that the camera rests securely while you still retain good handling. The surface is black anodized, which makes it more resistant to scratches and additionally protects against corrosion. This is not a show effect but a practical detail, especially if you are outdoors a lot.

Precisely designed, specifically for this camera

The BGFX-50R is not just a “good enough somehow” accessory, but a custom-made L-plate that was developed specifically for this camera: the FUJIFILM GFX 50R. The shape follows the camera body so that the L-bracket fits closely while still leaving enough room for cables, doors, and controls.

This allows you to switch your GFX 50R quickly from landscape to portrait orientation without shifting the center of gravity significantly or having to realign the tripod. You’ll especially notice the difference in architecture, landscape, or reproduction work: less fiddling, more focus on the subject. The design is optimized for stability, the lowest possible weight, and high operating comfort – a rather unspectacular but extremely valuable trio in everyday use.

Arca-style compatible for seamless integration into your system

The clamping profile of the BGFX-50R is Arca-style compatible and conforms to the common 38 mm dovetail standard. This allows the L-bracket to integrate easily into existing tripod setups and fit into a wide range of quick-release clamps. According to the manufacturer, the L-bracket is ARCA compatible and therefore ideal for photographers who want to keep their system flexible.

Specifically, the BGFX-50R can be used in Wimberley clamps, Arca-style compatible (according to the manufacturer) 38 mm quick-release clamps, Really Right Stuff screw clamps, Really Right Stuff lever-release clamps, Kirk clamps, and Jobu Design clamps. If you already use an Arca-style based setup of tripod head, rails, and clamps, you don’t have to change anything – the L-bracket simply integrates and works.

With QD strap socket for flexible carrying options

The BGFX-50R features an integrated QD strap socket, more precisely a QD strap anchor socket. This allows you to use compatible strap systems with QD connectors to quickly dock and undock your camera. This is particularly practical if you frequently switch between tripod use and handheld shooting and don’t want to keep threading straps in and out.

Since the L-bracket is QD compatible, you need a suitable strap with QD strap anchors to use this socket. You can find more information and suitable straps here. This way, the GFX 50R can be carried safely without you having to sacrifice the comfort of a stable L-bracket.

Thoughtful details for precise alignment

A small but crucial detail is the laser-engraved sensor center mark. It helps you position the camera’s optical axis precisely, which is almost indispensable for accurate panoramic photography. This allows you to align the camera cleanly over the pivot point and achieve seamless transitions between individual frames.

The engravings are clearly legible and permanently embedded in the material, so they do not wear off even with frequent use. In combination with the stable ARCA interface and the precisely fitting shape of the L-bracket, you get a tool that is not only robust but also supports the exact alignment of your FUJIFILM GFX 50R.

Robust construction and comfortable handling in everyday use

The portrait L-brackets from Really Right Stuff, including the BGFX-50R, are precision-manufactured and optimized for stability, low weight, and operating comfort. CNC machining from solid 6061-T6 aluminum profiles results in a very rigid construction that does not flex even with heavier lenses.

The black anodized surface not only protects against corrosion and wear but also provides a discreet, low-reflection appearance. In practical use, this means fewer distracting reflections, an unobtrusive look, and an L-bracket that still looks good even after extended use. In short, a tool for continuous use, not just for the display cabinet.
