Advertisement Posted December 30, 2018 Posted December 30, 2018 Hi kengai, Take a look here camera plate. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
meerec Posted December 30, 2018 Share #2 Posted December 30, 2018 I use a small re-purposed really right stuff plate I used on one of my canon telephoto lenses in the far past. Recently checked RRS website, they don’t make dedicated base plate for CL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocalHero1953 Posted December 30, 2018 Share #3 Posted December 30, 2018 I use the Peak Designs plate. It came with the Capture Clip, but can be bought separately. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill W Posted December 30, 2018 Share #4 Posted December 30, 2018 I use a Really Right Stuff B9 plate. It is their universal plate. It has a lip on one side to prevent it from slipping. Mine here is not scratched up as it seems, that is clear tape I put on it to protect my camera. I use it on the CL and my M10. Welcome, dear visitor!

pedaes Posted December 30, 2018 Share #5 Posted December 30, 2018 These are far and away the best value and excellent quality (IMHO). https://breakthrough.photography/products/universal-arca-plate 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use the same B9 plate. It has the advantage of being able to be fitted to the tripod in either orientation (cross wise or in line with the lens). I use this plate with several different cameras, it's proven to be quite versatile. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue is that it might not fit some RRS tripod heads. All of mine are RRS. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LocalHero1953 Posted December 30, 2018 Share #10 Posted December 30, 2018 I'm curious: why (and how) do RRS tripod heads deviate from the common Arca-Swiss form? I've had a couple of RRS plates before but never a RRS head. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear, they say they have had one customer say they had a problem. They fit Arca Swiss heads fine. Also, you will not need to add any protection as they have built in pads to do this.

ramarren Posted December 31, 2018 Share #12 Posted December 31, 2018 The only Arca-Swiss type plates I've ever had that didn't work perfectly with an RRS head clamp were Novoflex: their plates typically are 0.5mm thiner below the bevel profile than the Arca-Swiss spec and the older Lever Action RRS clamps cannot secure them without a shim placed underneath. Later RRS lever action clamps include an adjustment that works fine, as do the Arca-Swiss lever action clamps as well. (Never any problems at all with the traditional knob clamp types.) I'm just not particularly fond of the Breakthrough plates look ... purely a superficial thing. I like the look and feel of RRS plates the most, although I have excellent Kirk Photo, Acratech, Duro, and FOBA plates as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
