  "account": "The 3 Legged Thing Lexie QD is an upgraded universal L-bracket designed to cater to various cameras and tripod systems. This innovative bracket offers a Quick Detach socket and improved compatibility with the 3 Legged Thing XPAND system. Weighing in at just 92g, the Lexie QD boasts a magnesium alloy base and an anodized finish in alternative orange and black color options. The bracket is compatible with a range of shoe sizes and Arca-Swiss QD sockets, making it a versatile choice for photographers. The new design adds an XPAND Triple Axis Slot to the base plate, which, along with a QD socket, enhances its overall functionality. The upright plate remains identical to the original Lexie, featuring a connection system that allows mounting the base plate and upright in four different orientations. The base plate can be adjusted in length using hex-head screws, and additional cable management slots can be positioned in four different orientations. Overall, the Lexie QD offers excellent value for money, considering its features, build quality, and performance.",
