Rated 5 out of 5

Great addition to an amazing camera!

Great addition to the R3! I purchased it to allow for the camera strap to be connected at the bottom instead of the top. To me this solved the issue of the camera strap falling across the lens when going quickly from landscape to portrait mode.

RRS plate for D850

Well made and fits very well. I gave it 4-stars because of the cost.

Won?t choose wrong with Really Right Stuff

Really light weight as if nothing is on there. Provides more comfortable grip and pinky rest. Also fits perfectly with no play at all. Been living it!

Tried several similar products, and this is the one

Well manufactured, slim profile and perfect fit. Highly recommended for somebody who wants a minimal bracket that offers body protection. Easy battery access.

Nikon Z6 - works SO well

I got this plate so that it extends the grip to support my pinky finger - i know its a silly reason to get this but it makes it feel that much solid in my hand its totally worth it. It actually makes me feel better knowing the bottom of the camera is protected against dings / not worried about placing on surfaces etc. You can access the battery compartment with no issues and it fits perfectly.

Review of RRS baseplate for Sony a7r3

Works great on the sony a7r3. What I didn't know at time of purchase is that when the plate is connected to the camera, the battery lid cannot be opened. The plate must be removed to replace the battery. There is a video that describes taking off the battery lid, and replacing it to the RR base plate, and this works, but then the RR baseplate is more or less a permanent fixture to the camera.

Perfect for an X-T3

You can enhance your photography experience with the Base Plate for Nikon D500 Camera, meticulously designed by Really Right Stuff. This base plate is custom-crafted for the Nikon D500 camera, ensuring a perfect fit and preventing any twisting between the camera and the plate. Precision machined from solid blocks of 6061-T6 aluminum, this sturdy and durable base plate promises reliable performance and longevity.

Fully compatible with the 1.5" RRS Dovetail Standard, this base plate features contoured anti-twist flanges that provide a secure and stable platform for your camera. The base plate is equipped with a custom machined 1/4"-20 threaded, captive-style mounting screw that seamlessly threads into the tripod mounting socket of your Nikon D500 camera body.

As a versatile part of a modular system, this compact base plate not only functions as a traditional camera mounting plate but also accepts a separate dedicated vertical L-component. This feature allows you to transform it into a fully modular L-plate with two dovetail mounting surfaces. You have the option to purchase the dedicated vertical L-component separately or as a set package with the base plate.

One of the standout features of this base plate is the fully integrated Quick Disconnect (QD) mounting system. This system allows for rapid mounting or dismounting of a support strap system from a camera body plate featuring a QD mounting socket. The QD release systems are professionally proven and offer a robust 50lbs load capacity when used with our quick release plates. This makes the Base Plate for Nikon D500 Camera an ideal choice for professional photographers who require a reliable, versatile, and easy-to-use base plate for their Nikon D500 camera.
