Does anyone make a light weight bottom plate for the m10/240 or m9?

 

besides Luigi and RSS,  are there any other companies that make make replacement bottom plates?

Really Right Stuff makes ARCA style replacement base plates for the M9 and M.240 

Doubt they save you weight - but do make it easier to tripod mount.

There must be, or else, you can buy light weight lenses....

I plan on making a lightweight bottom plate for mine just to see how it feels. 

 

I recently got a 3d printer and plan on designing various accessories for myself for fun and also to save cost, such as a thumb grip. I'll post photos of whatever I come up with if anyone is interested in them as well.

I think small weight differences are like acoustic differences. In two hours you're already used so much to the difference of 60 grams that you kind of forget it. Your brain and body adapts. When it's about a kilo in difference or a few ponds fore that matter. The differences stays permanent, although you get stronger muscles in the proces.

I am interested in a bottom plate that lets me remove the SD card faster, maybe one with an access slot. Has anyone come across anything like that?
