Really Right Stuff BX2D-LS modular L-bracket for Hasselblad X2D / X2D II 100C

Modular L-plate BX2D-LS, made in the USA for uncompromising precision

From the very first time you mount it on your Hasselblad X2D 100C or Hasselblad X2D II 100C, you’ll notice that the Really Right Stuff BX2D-LS is not just any L-plate, but a precisely manufactured tool for serious photography. Milled from solid 6061-T6 aluminum and made in the USA, this modular L-plate offers an impressive combination of stability, rigidity, and surprisingly comfortable handling. Thanks to CNC machining, the BX2D-LS fits the camera body perfectly, without wobbling or binding. The black Type II anodized finish protects the material from scratches and corrosion while providing a discreet, professional look that simply suits your Hasselblad. This L-plate is deliberately not universal; it is clearly tailored to the shape and ports of the Hasselblad X2D and X2D II 100C so that nothing you need in everyday use is blocked.

Perfectly matched, designed specifically for this camera

Because the BX2D-LS was developed specifically for this camera, the controls, ports, and doors of your Hasselblad X2D 100C and Hasselblad X2D II 100C remain easily accessible in everyday use. You don’t have to remove the L-plate every time you change the battery or memory card; you can simply keep working as usual. The anti-twist flanges follow the contours of the camera base and reliably prevent rotation between camera and L-plate, even when working with heavier lenses or in portrait orientation. Everything is secured via a custom 1/4"-20 threaded screw that ensures a solid, play-free connection. In addition, there is an integrated strap loop that gives you extra options for how you carry the camera, for example in combination with a hand strap. Practical in the studio as well as on location: the modular design allows you to remove or adjust the vertical arm when needed without dismantling your entire setup. This lets you fine-tune the BX2D-LS to your working style instead of having to adapt yourself to the accessory.

Arca-style compatible, seamlessly integrated into your tripod system

If you’re already working with an ARCA system, you’ll feel right at home with the BX2D-LS. The L-plate is fully ARCA compatible and, according to the manufacturer, suitable for Arca-style compatible 38 mm quick-release clamps. This means you can use it directly in Really Right Stuff screw clamps, Really Right Stuff lever clamps, Wimberley clamps, Kirk clamps, and other suitable Arca-style compatible quick-release systems without special adapters or DIY solutions. For a structured overview of ARCA-compatible solutions, you can refer to: ARCA compatible The two L-shaped dovetail mounting surfaces allow you to switch from landscape to portrait orientation in a flash without having to reframe your subject. You simply reclamp the plate; the optical axis remains cleanly above the tripod head, and you can keep shooting as if nothing had changed. Especially for portraits, architecture, or reproduction work, this is a real time saver.

With QD strap socket, switch flexibly between tripod and carry strap

A small detail that makes a surprisingly big difference in everyday use: the BX2D-LS features an integrated QD strap socket—yes, one. This QD-compatible (Quick Detach) socket lets you attach and detach a suitable strap with QD anchors in seconds, without fiddly carabiners or screw-in eyelets. To use this QD strap socket, you’ll need a strap with QD anchors. Suitable solutions can be found here: Strap with QD anchors In reportage work, this allows you to switch quickly from tripod use to shoulder or sling carry without removing the plate. Combined with the existing strap loop, you get various carrying configurations, depending on whether you prefer a classic neck carry, side carry, or a more low-profile setup.

Stable base for portrait and landscape without recomposing your subject

With the two L-shaped dovetail mounting surfaces, you can switch your Hasselblad X2D or X2D II 100C from landscape to portrait orientation in seconds. Simply loosen the clamp, reinsert the L-plate in the other orientation, tighten, and you’re done. The framing remains largely the same, the camera stays above the tripod axis, and you don’t have to completely rebuild your composition. This is especially valuable when the light is changing quickly or when you’re working with people. You spend less time fiddling with hardware and more time shooting. The solid 6061-T6 aluminum construction ensures that even heavier lenses are held securely, without the L-plate bending or working loose.

Laser-engraved sensor center mark, precise alignment for panoramas

A seemingly small but in practice very helpful feature is the laser-engraved sensor center mark. It shows you the exact position of your Hasselblad’s sensor plane, which is practically essential for panoramic photography. If you’re planning multi-row panoramas or precise stitching shots, this marking allows you to align your camera accurately over the pivot point. In combination with a suitable panoramic head, you reduce parallax errors and achieve clean transitions between individual frames. For architectural photography or landscape series, this is a real advantage that can save you a lot of time later in post-processing.

Thoughtful details for professional use

The BX2D-LS comes with a range of small but crucial details that you often only really appreciate after several shoots. The laser-engraved center line helps you align the camera precisely on the tripod, for example when you want to align axes in your subject perfectly. An integrated boss for an optional hand strap expands your handling options, especially when you’re shooting longer sessions handheld and still want a secure connection to the camera. The R-lock integration ensures that the L-plate can be additionally secured against slipping in compatible clamps, which provides a reassuring extra level of safety, particularly for angled perspectives or on tilt heads with high load capacity. Because the BX2D-LS is not universal but precisely matched to the Hasselblad X2D and X2D II 100C, everything sits exactly where it should: no blocked compartments, no annoying edges, no improvised in-between solutions. In the end, you get an L-plate that feels more like an integrated part of your camera than a loose accessory that you only mount in an emergency.
