Universal L brackets - modular components

In past few weeks I did machine few different components needed for assembly of L bracket.
Since each L bracket is two part design you can mix and mach base ( currently 3 different length)  with L bracket side ( currently 5 different length) to create your own custom L bracket.
If particular combination will be highly popular I will add them to my store as package.Please see drawing below for base and side specification.
Base 1

Base 2

Base 3

 Side 1
 Side 2
 Side 3
 Side 4
Side 5

I think we will use L bracket naming as base number and side number 
So combination of base 3 and side 4 will be L bracket 34 -  This particular L bracket will work with cameras with battery grip attached

Universal L bracket with clamp

Universal L bracket with F62 clamp. 4.875 inch long (Works with most DSRL). 
Universal "L" bracket is a practical alternative to dedicated "L" brackets. L bracket is 3 part design. Base plate, Side plate and clamp. It can be use with or without clamp attached . The elongated slot let you move L bracket away from camera and connect to your computer if you are using tethered shooting mode. If you don't need L bracket you can remove side and use it as standard arca type camera plate. When used with clamp attached camera can be mount with an "Arca" type clamp so it is quickly removed for hand held shots. Position of clamp can be adjusted with two maunting screws to work with your equipment.
