Review on πŸ”§ Versatile CAMVATE Multi-Function Mounting Plate with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 Connections for Seamless Equipment Integration by Harley Franchetti

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fantastic solution for the Z50 with the old L bracket

Before buying the Nikon Z50 camera, I did a lot of research on the internet but didn't find much information on how users solved the problem of interference between the flip screen, an FTZ adapter and an L-bracket or even a regular Arca-Swiss plate mounted on the bottom of the camera. I tried to install the Arca plate on the FTZ adapter but I could not remove the adapter without removing the plate. When the arc plate is installed on the camera body, it will interfere with the flip screen and remove and turn on the FTZ adapter. This Camvate Cheese Board turned out to be the perfect solution! I attached the cheese board to the camera body and then my L mount to the cheese board. This gives enough room to turn the FTZ adapter on and off without blocking the battery compartment. (An alternate solution is blocking the battery compartment.) Camvate's Cheese Board still doesn't let you use the flip-screen for selfie mode, but I don't need that feature.

Pros
  • Camera and photo
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
