The Stitz DL-1 (often seen as the DL-1R) is a vintage, L-type camera grip and flash bracket manufactured in Japan. It is highly regarded in the analog community for its "rock-solid" build quality, typically featuring a mix of alloy and durable molded plastic.
Key Design Features
Modular Folding Design: The baseplate is often foldable or removable, making it easy to store in a camera bag or pocket.
Adjustable Mounting: It uses a standard 1/4"-20 camera mounting screw. On many versions, this screw can slide along the length of the baseplate to accommodate cameras with offset tripod mounts, like vintage Voigtländer or Leica models.
Cold Shoe Mount: The top of the grip features a standard cold shoe mount for attaching a flash unit or other accessories.
Physical Specs: It typically measures approximately 7 inches wide by 4.5 inches high. Some models include a 13 cm rod and a 14 cm height for the flash attachment.
Ergonomics: Some versions, like the DL-1R, include a hand strap for added security and a padded or molded grip for comfort.
