Re: Really Right Stuff RRS L-Plate for Nikon Z9 arrived
this is of course my perspective:
starting with the PMG:
- its design is based on 2 major alloy components. then there are a few individual parts to make its structure. this consists of 4 bolts and 2 rods for the L. 2 of those bolts on the base plate need to be loosened/locked to slide the L arm as needed.
- in the attempt to give the L longer length, make access easier to the side ports and the Focus-Mode Button they built out the L which increases the overall width of the camera a bit all of the time. your finger is still doing a partial reach around to access the FMB in normal use. the battery drawer has open access via a single point L support. interesting visually. the L itself gives a longer clamping area. the QD hard point on the L portion may be the least used of the two. QD on base plate along with standard threaded port for others.
- the base plate uses the cupping type base with a sliding bolt into the tripod thread for fixing position. this design has been used on many plates over the years since they came out.
