In the Canon XL2 Brochure the camera is pictured with an
Adapter Holder. I would like to attach my Anton Brick and Wireless Receiver Holder like I had on my XL1s. Yet this item is not mentioned in Canon's list of whats in the box, nor is it listed in several sights I checked selling the camera. Any know if this item actually comes with the camera? If not, where to purchase this? Thanks in advance for your time.

Yes. It does come in the box...it was a nice surprise, although at first I wasn't sure what it was.

It comes with the camera. Both the XL-1s and XL-2 use the same Anton Bsuer gold-mount.

Do any of you XL-2 owners know what the triangular hole pattern on the back ledge of the adapter/holder is for? I can't think of any accessory off hand that would screw in there.
thanks,

Its for mounting a plate that will hold an Anton Bauer Brick and
Wireless Receiver Holder. I have it mounted on my Xl1s.
I bought the MA-100, the Anton Gold Mount Brick Adapter and the
Wireless Receiver Holder and for the life of me, I cant rember wich item supplied the plate.

The plate is attached to the Anton-Bauer gold mount when you purchase that model (QR-XL1C) for the either the XL-1S or XL-2 (both cameras use the same).

Thanks fellas, for some reason I thought the AB would clip on much like the CH-910 does. I'm definitely goiing to look into getting something to add some weight back there. I've noticed the XL-2 puts a lot more pressure on my right palm at the base of the hand grip.
