Review on πŸ“Έ Desmond DPL-100 PL100 100mm QR Lens Plate: A Quick Release Arca Swiss Compatible Solution for Precise Lens Mounting by Andrea Sledge

Revainrating 5 out of 5

PERFECT FOR LONG FEEDER LENSES WITHOUT ARCA SWISS BASE

Switzerland compatible, this Desmond QR plate makes it compatible. It has an eyelet that will hold it onto the Nikon stem when properly tightened. I used some Loctite to make sure it didn't come loose and used a screwdriver to tighten the screw to get it all the way in. Be careful not to overtighten; First hand tighten them as tight as possible, then use a screwdriver to tighten them a little more. This plate adds a bit of weight to the lens, but when you're talking about a big, heavy lens it's negligible. I highly recommend this plate over spending $120 or more to replace a collar. Not necessary.
