⚠ Disclaimer! Use at your own risk!I have been using 3d printed tripod plate + strap connector combos for years with no problems, but ultimately the safety of your gear is up to you, and I take no responsibility for any damages caused if your copy of this design breaks or does not work with your gear.

What's new & improvedThis version was redesigned from scratch starting from a flatbed scan of the bottom of the camera. Improvements include:

• Shape braces against the edges of the camera better, so less wiggle
• Covers entire bottom of camera (with a battery door hole), so it should sit flat on tables more easily
• No longer blocks the official hood/filter adapters from mounting - there's a cutout for the big bump. Note: This change has only been tested on the GRIIIX with the GA-2 filter adapter… If you have a GRIII and can give it a try, please let me know if it works!
• More curve on the front part of the arca plate area, to make it more comfortable to hold. 
• Bottom left strap mounting point added - if you want to hang the camera vertically with a two point strap from either the right or the left, now you can.
