The NiSi W-82D Camera Positioning Bracket for DSLR Camerasfrom NiSi W-82D Camera Positioning Bracket for DSLR Camerasis a rotating collar that attaches to select DSLR camera bodies, allowing the camera and lens to easily rotate between portrait and landscape orientation without having to remove them from the tripod head. This feature is particularly useful for landscape photographers, real estate photographers, and studio portrait photographers who need to quickly change their camera's orientation.

Unlike traditional L-brackets, the Wizard W-82D is designed to work seamlessly with cameras that have fully articulating screens, allowing the screen to be positioned without any compromise. When positioned at 180 degrees, it can also be used for low-angle or macro shooting. The Wizard W-82D features tactile, haptic indicators at 0-, 90-, and 180-degrees to ensure that camera alignment is always maintained. A large, knurled locking knob makes it easy to secure the camera in position. Additionally, the camera is mounted with the sensor positioned in the center of the lens ring, ensuring that the center point of the image is always maintained. The Wizard W-82D features a rubber ring on the inside to ensure the finish of lens barrels are always protected. The outer diameter of the lens mount must be smaller than the inner diameter of the lens ring, lenses with an outer mount diameter larger than 82mm cannot be mounted. To check lens compatibility, measure around the lens near the lens mount to ensure it's less than 82mm.

The Wizard W-82D is constructed from aircraft-grade aluminum alloy, making it both rugged and lightweight. The mounting foot is Arca-Swiss compatible, providing wide-range compatibility with most tripod heads and clamps. It also features a 1/4"-20 thread mount so any quick release plate can be attached, making it compatible with almost every tripod. The base of the camera mounting plate stores a magnetically mounted Allen wrench for securely attaching the 1/4"-20 screw to the camera body.

Q: 1. May I use this matte box with the Zunow WCX-80 wide angle lens on a Sony FDR AX-100 camera with no vignetting? Thanks

A: This combination is unknown and the answer would only come from testing the components together. Having said that, we feel that the camera with its lens at the widest mm setting plus wearing the Zunow most likely will cause vignetting with the matte box. The vignetting should go away if you zoom in slightly.

Q: 2. Can it fit on DSLR's?

A: Hi JoseIt depends on the lens / sensor combination you chose to use. My configuration works just fine; Sigma 17-50 2.8 zoom on Canon 60D (APC sensor) Wider lenses will produce vignetting.
