Q: 1. Several reviews mentioned that the bracket wiggles a bit even when tightened down completely. Is it possible this is due to the screw being a tiny bit too long and bottoming out before the plate makes full contact with the camera?

A: Yes the screw being too long does create the wiggle issue with Sunwayfoto Custom L-Bracket for Sony a7 III, a7R III and a9

Q: 2. Will this dovetail with a Fotopro M5i plate?

A: Yes, if one uses a Fotopro M5i with a "head" that offers a Arca type QR mount, such as the FPH-53P this will dovetail.

Q: 3. Is this compatible with the SmallRig Tripod Mounting Kit with 2 x Plates and 2 x 15mm Rod Clamps (BH #SM1798), or does only the ARRI-style work with this?

Q: 4. Will this work with the sONY a99ii?

A: We're afraid not. This is a form fitting cage for the Sony A7III, A7RIII and A9 cameras. It will not for the A99II, which is a DSLR camera that has a different body type. For the A99II we recommend a universal cage like the Wooden Camera Unified DSLR Cage with Rubber-Grip Handle (Medium), B&H # WO243709. https://bhpho.to/2RGCVkW
