Really Right Stuff BOEM1MkII L-Set Modular L-Bracket for Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II & Mark III

Really Right Stuff BOEM1MkII L-Set for Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II & Mark III

Sometimes a camera is missing just one single part for everything to suddenly feel perfectly right. The Really Right Stuff BOEM1MkII L-Set modular L-bracket for the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III is exactly such a part. It is not universal, but deliberately designed to fit precisely so that your OM-D sits solidly in the bracket, nothing wobbles, and you can fully concentrate on your subject.

The shape is matched exactly to the body of the E-M1 Mark II and Mark III. This way the camera sits securely in your hand, access to the ports remains unobstructed, and you can switch between portrait and landscape orientation without constantly fiddling with the tripod plate. Once mounted, the L-bracket quickly feels like a fixed part of your camera.

Specifically developed for the following cameras

The BOEM1MkII L-bracket is specifically designed for the following cameras: Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark II and Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III. No compromises, no makeshift solutions, no “it’ll fit somehow”. The contours follow the camera design so that the contact area is maximized and stability when working on a tripod increases significantly.

Because the bracket is not universal, it does not slip during longer sessions and remains reliably in position even with heavier lenses. Especially when you are working with telephoto focal lengths, macro setups, or elaborate long exposures, this precise fit really pays off.

Modular design for more flexibility

The L-bracket consists of two components, a camera plate and a removable L-rail. Thanks to this modular design, you can adapt the bracket to your situation. If you want to transport the camera particularly compactly or are currently not using portrait orientation on the tripod, you simply leave off the L-component and use only the base plate.

If, on the other hand, you frequently switch between landscape and portrait orientation, you leave the set fully assembled and enjoy the quick, tool-assisted change to the other orientation. The integrated magnetic hex key holder ensures that the right tool always stays directly on the L-bracket. No searching in your backpack, no “where did I put that key again”.

Arca-style compatible for seamless integration

The clamping profile of the BOEM1MkII is Arca-style compatible and made to the 38 mm standard. This means the L-bracket fits into a wide range of common quick-release clamps, such as Wimberley clamps, Arca-style compatible (according to the manufacturer) 38 mm quick-release clamps, Really Right Stuff screw clamps, Really Right Stuff lever clamps, and Kirk clamps. If you already use a tripod system with the ARCA standard, you can integrate the L-bracket practically seamlessly into your existing setup.

Made in the USA from 6061-T6 aluminum

The Really Right Stuff BOEM1MkII L-bracket is made from high-quality 6061-T6 aluminum. In the photo industry this material is almost something of a modern classic, because it offers a very good ratio of weight to stability. At only 122 g your OM-D remains pleasantly light, while the L-bracket is robust enough for daily use in the studio, when traveling, or outdoors in wind and weather.

The surface is Type II black anodized, which makes it resistant to abrasion and corrosion. The anodized layer provides a matte, unobtrusive look that reduces reflections and visually blends well with the camera design. Made in the USA here means that manufacturing is very precise and tolerances are kept tight so that everything fits cleanly and nothing rattles.

With QD strap socket for flexible carrying

The L-bracket features a QD strap socket, more precisely a QD strap anchor socket. This allows you to quickly attach and detach a suitable strap with QD strap anchors without having to fiddle with the tripod screw every time. Especially if you frequently switch between tripod use and handheld shooting, this is a very convenient solution.

Since the L-bracket is QD compatible, you need a suitable strap with QD strap anchors to use this socket. You can find a selection here: View straps with QD strap anchors. This way your camera stays securely on the strap but can be detached from the carrying system in seconds when needed.

ARCA compatible and designed for real-world use

The BOEM1MkII L-bracket is not only ARCA compatible, it is also designed in many small details for real everyday photography. The width of about 14.5 cm and the height of around 8.2 cm are chosen so that the bracket securely encloses your camera without being excessively bulky. Ports and flaps remain accessible so you can connect cables, remote releases, or microphones without removing the L-bracket.

The ARCA-compatible underside allows you to quickly switch between different tripods and heads, as long as they are based on the 38 mm ARCA standard. This way you can use a different head in the studio than on the go without having to mount new plates each time.

Laser-engraved sensor center mark for precise alignment

On the L-bracket you will find a laser-engraved sensor center mark. This marking helps you determine the exact position of the sensor, which is very useful for precise image alignment. This is particularly important in panoramic photography, where a precise axis of rotation is crucial for clean, easily stitchable panoramas.

Thanks to the clear engraving, you can align your camera on the tripod head so that rotations occur as precisely as possible around the relevant point. This reduces offset between individual images and makes later editing on the computer easier.

Ergonomic details and everyday handling

In practice it often only becomes apparent how well thought-out an accessory really is. The magnetic hex key holder ensures that you always have the right tool directly on the L-bracket. If you want to quickly adjust something on the go or remove the L-component, the key is immediately at hand.

The shape of the L-bracket supports the grip on the camera without interfering with operation. Thanks to the low weight of 122 g, the overall setup remains well balanced. The Type II black anodized surface feels pleasant to the touch and is resistant to small scratches that simply happen in everyday use.
