Acratech 2173 Camera Plate
This Acratech 2173 Camera Plate is a very lightweight (app. 1 oz), dedicated QR plate for the Panasonic DMC-G1/GH1 camera. The plate is compatible with all Arca-Swiss-type clamps and features maximum weight reduction combined with great strength. A camera-specific lip prevents rotation on the camera body and the plate is notched to allow easy access to all camera controls and features. A long screw slot increases the chances of compatibility with future cameras.
- Compatible with all Arca-Swiss-type quick release clamps (Foba, Arca, Kirk, Wimberly, etc.)
- Camera specific plate, so it fits your camera and will prevent your camera from rotating or moving on the plate
- Designed to allow access to all camera controls and functions without removing the plate
- Plate provides maximum contact area to the bottom of the camera, increasing stability and helping to minimize flexing of the camera body
- Plates are precision C.N.C. machined from solid 6061 T-6 aluminum
- All unnecessary threaded bosses etc. have been eliminated to further reduce weight
- Made in the U.S.A.
- Satin black anodized finish
- Advanced computer-aided design software is used to create exceptionally strong lightweight plates

Comments about Acratech 2173 Camera Plate:
RRS plate was out of stock at their site, so I went to B&H in search for alternative. Found this one. It fits Panasonic GH2 perfectly well and works with rss tripod heads just fine. It is also cheaper than rss plate.

Comments about Acratech 2173 Camera Plate:
The product description says that this is designed for the GH1, but it fits on the GH2 too. No surprises. It just does what it's supposed to do.

This plate fits perfectly on my Panasonic G1.
No more turning of the camera!
An Allen key is attached.
I can recommend this plate greatly.
