mirrorless Posted Sunday at 05:11 PM Share #1 Posted Sunday at 05:11 PM Advertisement (gone after registration) I messed up the small tripod-connection plate of my SL3. Did anybody change the plate already / let Leica do the job or is there a way to do a self-repair with a spare-plate? THX in advance! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhotoCruiser Posted Sunday at 05:42 PM Share #2 Posted Sunday at 05:42 PM (edited) Not sure what is the "small tripod-connection plate" you talk of and what you messed up, the tread? At least my Sl2 has the usual tread for tripods as most cameras have. Can you post a photo? Chris This is the bottom of the SL3 Welcome, dear visitor!

mirrorless Posted Sunday at 05:57 PM Author Share #3 Posted Sunday at 05:57 PM Thanks, it is the complete black metal plate that sits around the 2 holes (silver and black hole on the pic above) where the text L-Mount / IP54 and voltage infos are printed on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart Richardson Posted Sunday at 06:30 PM Share #4 Posted Sunday at 06:30 PM (edited) What did you do? I think this is integrated into the body frame...you want the tripod to be fully secure to the camera, so you don't want it to be a part that could come loose. Did you just scratch it or something? I think Leica is the only one who could fix this, and it might not be something that is fixable without replacing the camera. If you look at this SL2 teardown, you will see that the cover part is part of the whole bottom plate, and the tripod thread itself is part of the main internal part of the camera body. https://www.nofocus.blog/home/leica-sl2-teardown-disassembly-for-full-spectrum-infrared-photography Edited Sunday at 06:36 PM by Stuart Richardson Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This sounds quite badly and complicated. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don’t under what you did to mess up that thing . Scratched? So what’s the big deal? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cameras being used may get some scratches and fortunately the part is in most cases invisible. Chris Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
