[Black] Excellent piece of hardware.


My only criticism is that I wish it was quicker to attach and remove from a camera cage for rebuilds. But that might compromise it's integrity and am ok with that for now.

[0.38 lb] I got this and a simple hand grip over the shape one that costs hundreds, it works great.

[0.38 lb] This is a huge improvement from the old Kondor Blue Battery Plate! Definitely worth the upgrade!

[0.38 lb] In Love with this! Specially with the bridge plate with Riser!

[Black] This plate feels incredibly robust and has great selection of outputs. The hidden power button is a nice touch too to prevent accidentally powering it off mid shoot.

[Black] Solid build, no wiggle. Looks nice and provides the necessary mounting points and stability for a wide variety of scenarios. Works well with the VR lens too- everything is behind the lens, so no obstructions.

[0.38 lb] I could be wrong about this, others are prone to disagree, but it gets complicated. This was purchased to complement the Kondor Blue 501 Adjustable Baseplate. Without this piece of nicely machined, symmetrical alloy, spring releases on both ends, there isn't a large flat surface on the Baseplate to attach directly to any other surface. The Dovetail fits nicely into the Baseplate. Dandy. With some platforms that might well be sufficient. However, most tripod heads and surface mounts have their own dovetail receptacle which require yet another dovetail plate. What you end up with is plates mounted back to back, or more accurately: front to front. Or am I missing something?

One minor annoyance: my two plates front to front were not thick enough for the length of a standard ¼-20 camera attachment screw. The end of the screws impede the free sliding of the baseplate along the dovetail. Had to add a bit of spacer between the two dovetails.

I know- clear as mud. But there you have it.

[0.38 lb] This inexpensive piece attaches via a 1/4 20” and saves you the need to hold that extra gear. Mounting the cold shoe plate to the side of your camera or gear cage is like having another arm, and saves you from a jumbled mess. For $10, this is a must have for folks who use cold shoe mounts daily.

[Black] Maybe a tad pricey for what it is, but it sits well above its competition. I've had numerous 501-to-Arca adapters in my life and this is the best one I've used. Very solid and well built, the tightening knob on the Arca Swiss plate is comfortable to tighten. It's the most versatile one as well because you can rotate the Arca adapter from horizontal to vertical orientation, so it fits both L-bracket style Arca plates but also vertical Arca Swiss QR plates a lot of 15mm LWS kits are using nowadays. Don't second guess it, just get it.

[Black] Most cages for the Canon R5 C (and R5) block your path to change the filter in the Canon filter adapter.

This cage leaves that path open. It additionally is build very solid and the quality is excellent.
