The zoom l-12 is a marvelous device and if you want to keep it that way, build it into a box. For that you gonna need this rack. Sure it?s pricey, but it?s strudy and absolutely not flimsy. Once had a boss adapter for some products in the same pricerange, man those were bad. But this one does the job very well. Make sure you have the L-12 in place correctly, before mounting the screws. Don?t like the coating, but when it?s build in a rack it doesn?t. You won?t see it anymore. If you have a L-12 and are thinking buying one, don?t wait to long. Pheripials like this tend to sell out and are hardly found second-hand. I build this rack with the L-12 into a Thon suitcase. Love it.
