SmallRig 3984 Foldable L-Bracket for Sony A7RV / A7IV / A7SIII
This Foldable L-Bracket from SmallRig is designed specifically for the Sony A7 R V, A7 IV and A7 S III mirrorless cameras. It features an Arca-Swiss-type dovetail profile for both horizontal and vertical mounting. A side plate can fold down via a press-to-flip hinge, enabling quick changes from portrait to landscape orientation while maintaining full access to the LCD flip-screen and side ports. The baseplate is extendable in vertical orientation to allow cabling, and the unit includes multiple ¼-20 threaded holes for accessories, a wrist-strap/quick-disconnect socket and scratch-resistant cushions to safeguard the camera.
Best Suitable
- Photographers using Sony A7 R V, A7 IV or A7 S III who frequently switch between landscape and portrait orientation and need a compact, foldable bracket to make that fast.
- Videographers needing robust support for accessories (monitor, mic, cold shoe) while maintaining access to camera ports and articulating LCD.
- Travel or on-the-go shooters who prioritise minimal bulk and efficient mounting solutions, since the foldable design allows more compact carry.
- Studio or pro-shoot setups where quick orientation swaps and Arca-Swiss compatibility with tripod heads are beneficial.
FAQ – SmallRig 3984 Foldable L-Bracket for Sony A7RV / A7IV / A7SIII

According to one reseller, the maximum load capacity in the vertical shooting state is 5 kg.
Is the bracket good for long exposure or astrophotography (where rigidity matters)?
One user review from B&H indicated it is “stable enough to be used for long exposure astrophotography.”
If extreme rigidity is needed you may want to test in your specific setup.
