The SHAPE Delta Adapter plate mounts underneath your camera and allows for attachment to the SHAPE Quick Release Plate or third party plates that use the V-lock interface. The adapter plate features two stoppers at the rear of the plate to keep your camera from twisting while shooting, with the stoppers adjustable and removable to accommodate cameras of varying sizes. A 1/4"-20 screw comes included for securing your camera to the plate.

Can be used for a monitor, or even a very lightweight mirrorless camera adapter. Works very well with my Nikon Z6 and is a great monitor QR plate for my BMD Video Assist monitor. Cheap enough, especially considering SHAPE has a lifetime warranty on non-electrical parts. Nice option.
I've worked in production houses most of my career, with ENG-type cameras that use heavy-duty camera plates and tripod adaptors. Since making the move to the DSLR world, I sometimes miss the solidness of old-school gear, the satisfying click they make when you lock it in. My Panasonic GH4 is a great camera, but I was having to use flimsy plates and lesser tripods in the field. I chatted with a B&H rep about the issue, and he pointed me toward some options. I chose the SHAPE Delta Adapter, and am so glad I did. It fits my needs perfectly! The two stoppers on the back are adjustable and keep the camera from twisting. It fits the camera snugly, and the tripod adaptor plate tightly. The only drawback is that all of the screws require a hex key to remove or adjust. Although the SHAPE Delta Adaptor includes 3 sizes of hex keys, I'm not crazy about keeping them with me at all times, in case I want to remove it. With ENG gear, I rarely removed the adaptor plate, but DSLR's are so versatile. Introduce a Gimbaled Handle to the mix, and suddenly you need to swap out the plate. A quarter, key, or ever-present Leatherman tool doesn't work on a hex bolt! Other than making sure I have an additional tool in the camera case, I'm very happy with this solid little product.
