Q: 6. I have an L bracket attached to my Z6 will the 2212 give me enough clearance to attach camera to my tripod without having to remove my L bracket?

A: We made the FTZ adaptor tall enough to clear when our camera plates were on the camera. I cannot guarantee that the bracket you are using will clear, but it should. Unless they made the bracket with a thicker profile or did something unusual to change the bottom. If they did...well then they did not have the adaptor at the same time that they made their bracket.
