Calling all 5D4 and L-Bracket users.
When I bought my 5D4 a few weeks ago, I had a look for the Sunwayfoto L-Bracket for this camera but reviews seems to suggest that Sunwayfoto had cut corners and simply rebadged the 5D3 bracket. The cut out for the remote cable is still there and some say it does not fit correctly.
As I had sold a 6D and 7D2 both of which had Sunwayfoto L-Brackets I tried both on the new camera and the 7D2 bracket fit perfectly. Yes the cut out is there and the side rubbers doors are obscured a little but as I don't use any ports on the side that didn't bother me. However, last night I tried to connect my remote and as this has now been moved to the front and the connector has an angled head, this was bumping up against the bracket meaning I could not connect the remote enough for it to make contact with the pins.
Firstly does anybody have the Sunwayfoto bracket specifically for the 5D4 and does your remote fit?
Secondly, does anybody know where I can get either a short extension cable but without the 90 degree angled plug or a small barrel connector.
Google is turning up loads of extensions and converters but everything has the damned angled head which is causing the issue.
Thirdly, can anybody recommend a cheap, decent L-Bracket that does fit and allow remote connectivity. I refuse to pay silly money for RRS/Kirk as I hate being ripped off and a bit of machined alloy is not worth nearly £200.
