Ricoh GR III Custom Compact Off-Set Base Stay for QR Plate
Problem: Needed a compact/light-weight QR plate and mating base to use my my compact/light-weight Joby Gorilla Pod with micro ball-head without interfering with the opening/closing of the battery/SD card door. In addition, I felt it was extremely cumbersome and frankly dangerous when trying to screw the 1/4-20 micro ball-head directly into the camera. Now it's always ready for quick and safe attachment to my compact tripod setup. Solution: Retail options? None, they all interfered with the battery/SD card door. So I made this custom light-weight off-set aluminum plate that I plan to keep on the camera at all times. Build Video: https://youtu.be/tHENjPTFGC4
