Kirk do one that works well and allows full access to battery and side panels.Is there a l bracket for the k1 that won't cover the battery cover?
Wex stock it, though it is pricey.

Hello
Two questions in one to save a thread.
......
What material should I use to build a tall vflag and where to buy it? It seems that I should go for insulation poly board but the are very tall (2400mm, 1800mm would be enough) and beq doesn't cut them
That stuff is very easy to cut with a long hand saw - all you need is some sort of table/support, a straight-edged piece of wood and a black marker to mark the cut line, and then cut down that line. Shouldn't take more than about 5 mins per cut.Hello

Does create a lot of dust and small flying particles - that's probably B&Q won't cut it!
(Insulated the pitches of our roof with that stuff - that's why I know! )
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

It's very light and somewhat flexible - can you not tie it on the roof (run the ropes through the windows!), and then drive very slowly?

In relation to the L Bracket I spent ages looking for one that did not cover the battery cover for the K3, in the end I stumbled on one by SRB Photographic, its available in 3 sizes so you may have to check the sizes in relation to the K1. The good news is the price is good at £25 for the small up to £35 for the large. Details here

Just looked at them, really want one for the K1 and D810, both have grips and I don't believe the L grips will be able to deal with gripped cameras...
then there is the small matter of the Arca swiss - apart from my Benro Gimbal all my other heads are standard Manfrotto stuff.

There is always the Manfrotto L-bracket but is a crude and expensive contraption. To cope with the Kirk L-bracket I changed the mounts on my Manfrotto heads for a replacement by Sunwayfoto which will take both Manfrotto and Arca Swiss plates.

Excuse my ignorance but what is a “vflag”?

Is there a l bracket for the k1 that won't cover the battery cover?
