Giguchan Posted March 30, 2019 Author Share #21 Posted March 30, 2019 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello, I think there will be a Q2 plate soon.. I dont have my body yet either... and probably not before the summer unless i travel to go get it.. I can wait.. I was just curious as to what people were doing. Like i said the RRS people are figuring out what to do. at least thats what i was told. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Advertisement Posted March 30, 2019 Posted March 30, 2019 Hi Giguchan, Take a look here Q2 plate... from Really Right stuff which one?. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
iTiki Posted March 31, 2019 Share #22 Posted March 31, 2019 I'm using the RRS B9 on my Q2. Works perfectly with my RRS ballhead. I seriously doubt we will see a full bottom plate from RRS or anyone else because of the size of the battery and how close it comes to the edge of the camera. That's just my opinion...

Giguchan Posted March 31, 2019 Author Share #23 Posted March 31, 2019 (edited) Hello there, I heard the same thing earlier today from a couple of people i ran into.. "I don't think it will be worth it for the RRS people to deal with it". I have a few choices to look into. I do like the B9... and so far you have had no issues? Thanks for the reply. P.S. Have you seen some of those Korean made cases for the Leicas? WOW!!! Edited March 31, 2019 by Giguchan Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What bags are you referring to? any links? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

By "clean", I mean it blends in with the body of the camera as best it can. The quality matches that of the Leica. Obviously, a plate that covers the full edge of the bottom of the camera would look even better, but the way the battery and the card slot is positioned on the bottom of the camera, I seriously doubt there will be a better option. The only negative of a partial plate is that the camera does not sit flat when it is set on a flat surface such as a table. Not a huge issue with me, as I don't mind attaching the plate when I'm going to use a tripod and leave the plate off 90% of the time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had an idea thats what you meant. I planned on doing the same thing the plate wont be left on a lot either.. just when using the T pod. I dont think that the RRS people will waste time, R&D engineering another plate when they already have 3 plates that will already do the job.

YellowBelly Posted July 6, 2019 Share #28 Posted July 6, 2019 I also wrote RRS an email asking if they could bring out a plate with the wonderful sling system they have on the SL plate but got the same response. I was ironically wanting to use a tripod this evening hence my finding this group. I really think everyone should write to RRS as their solutions are the best. Well for me at least do any of you know if the sling is compatible with any of the plates suggested? Thank you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bullmoon Posted July 6, 2019 Share #29 Posted July 6, 2019 (edited) I like this one - well made and versatile - and a fair price.

danielmfrank Posted September 27, 2019 Share #31 Posted September 27, 2019 https://www.reallyrightstuff.com/bq2-lpg Here it is: L-Plate with integrated handgrip. Unlike the M-series plates, the handgrip is not removable. It's all one piece -- sort of like the Q2. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a similar “L” plate on my Canon 5D3. It’s been a total workhorse. I don’t need it on the Q2. I have an ADM case and a Arca-Swiss plate to add when doing tripod work.

I love photographing falling water or nighttime city reflections in water. Most are exposures from. 1-10 secs. I wouldn’t consider doing them without a tripod unless it was to produce an “artsy” blurred and colorful image. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

danielmfrank Posted October 7, 2019 Share #37 Posted October 7, 2019 I had the RRS full plate and grip set for my M-P Typ 240, and I didn't use it once in four years. I think I just feel bad having such a nice tripod and no way to mount my camera on it, if I ever wanted to. The main thing I used my tripod for in the old days, was formal portrait work, with a remote trigger. I would lock in the framing, and then step away from the camera. It's much easier to maintain eye contract and emotional rapport with portrait subjects when your face isn't hidden by a camera body. But that's formal portrait work. In more journalistic work, your subject is probably reacting more to other things in the environment, than to the photographer. You're more of an observer than a participant, so eye contact is less important. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
