⚠ 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.
If you have the tri-wing auto lens cap accessory, you will have to remove that before mounting the camera to tripods using this compact plate! That's the price we pay for making it tiny.
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
- Better clearance for the bump on the bottom of the tri-wing auto lens cap accessory
Now you can remove the lens cap ring without taking the tripod plate off.
