Arca-Swiss has announced a new “NEX Kit” Mini L-bracket and viewfinder shoe designed to be used specifically with the Sony NEX-3/C3 and Sony NEX-5/5N compact system cameras. The new NEX Kit is undoubtedly well made, but there’s no mention of weight (other than “light”) in the press release, a possible concern given the cameras’ weight friendly priorities. There’s no word on U.S. pricing from the French based company, but over the Atlantic the NEX kit runs 159 €.

More details in the press release below.

Arca-Swiss presents the ‘NEX Kit’ for NEX-3 and NEX-5 Sony cameras.
The kit consists of an L-bracket and a viewfinder shoe for an optical finder.

Previously Arca-Swiss has released the Mini L-bracket for compact cameras such as the Olympus E-PL1, E-PL2, Panasonic Lumix GF and LX3, Samsung NX-100, Canon G10, The new smallest DSLR offerings from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Pentax and Sony.

Today we present a new mini L-bracket. Light and small, it is specifically designed to mate specifically with the Nex 3 and Nex 5 cameras from Sony.

The Nex L-bracket is fully adaptable with our monoball®Fix and monoball®Classic quick release systems. It takes into account the compact design of the Sony Nex cameras allowing a fast change from landscape to portrait format and vise-versa. Secure handling of the cameras when hand holding is improved due to the L-bracket as well.

The design further allows free access to cable ports allowing unhindered connection to the computer without having to remove or shift the bracket.

The kit includes a shoe allowing easy attachment of an optical finder. An optical finder is a great accessory allowing the photographer to see better, yielding faster, more accurate composing and shooting in low light conditions.

ARCA-SWISS is committed to the constant evolution and innovation of its products!
