Review on 📸 SmallRig Vlogging Mounting Plate Pro for Nikon Z50 Camera - LCN2667 SEO-Optimized Version by Eric Owens

The SmallRig Vlogging Mounting Plate Pro for the Nikon Z50 is a good accessory, especially if you plan to use the camera for vlogging or take a lot of tripod selfies. The mounting plate is very well made. and durable, made of metal or metal-like material, with rubber pads on the bottom to keep the chamber well sealed. When attached, the mounting plate makes the Z50 slightly larger, which makes it easier to hold given the camera's relatively small size. The SmallRig vlogging mounting plate also looks good on the Z50. Nikon designed the rear screen to fold down and around, eliminating the need to set up a tripod for vlogging or tripod selfies. SmallRig Vlogging Mounting Plate Pro is a good solution that solves this problem. You can use the mounting plate for horizontal or vertical shooting as the plate has mounting holes on the bottom and side and a built-in cold shoe slot on the side. longer time and you will need to replace the Z50 battery. SmallRig designed the plate so that you can attach the battery cover to the mounting plate and easily swap out the battery if needed. To do this, you must first remove the Z50's battery cover and then attach it to the mounting plate. Removing the battery cover from the camera is relatively easy, and attaching it to the mounting plate is easy. If you remove the battery cover and attach it to the mounting plate once and leave the mounting plate on the camera, the SmallRig accessory would earn five stars. However, my reluctance to give this product five stars is that I have no plans to permanently leave the mounting plate and possibly remove the battery cover from an already somewhat flimsy camera multiple times so I can attach it to the mounting plate. Repeatedly loosening and tightening the screws to loosen and attach the battery cover to the mounting plate and then reattach it to the camera can cause an already flimsy battery cover to become even thinner over time. Overall I love this accessory and I think SmallRig did a great job of providing a workaround for users who want to use the flip screen and tripod at the same time. What I don't like is that if you need to change the battery and don't want to remove the plate, you have to remove the battery cover from the camera. The Z50's battery cover doesn't feel solid and removing it again (unless you leave it permanently attached to the mounting plate) could potentially loosen the battery cover even more. Recommended, especially if you don't plan on removing the battery. Camera cover too often.
