The BD40-L L-Plate for Nikon D40, D40X, D50, and D60 is designed specifically for these cameras with anti-twist flanges to keep the bodies from twisting. Once the dovetail plate is on, quick release functionality has been added to the camera. Also, this base plate is compatible with all Really Right Stuff clamps and most other Arca-type heads.
The CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum plate maintains complete access to the battery door without obstructing the LCD monitor of the camera and the shape maintains the ergonomics of the camera. In addition, a boss has been machined into the side of the plate so an accessory hand or shoulder strap can loop through and carry the camera. Because of type II black anodizing, the plate itself is resistant to scuffs and scratches. Additionally, the plate has a laser-engraved center mark on the back to align it on a head.
