This L-Plate Set from Really Right Stuff is designed to replace the original manufacturer's base plate for Leica's M10, M10-R, and M10 Monochrome digital rangefinders. When installed, the Really Right Stuff base plate provides the ability to adapt the camera to an Arca-type compatible quick release clamp while in the landscape orientation. With the addition of the vertical plate to the base plate, the camera body can also be adapted to an Arca-type compatible quick release clamp while in the portrait orientation.
The base plate is a modular component that can be used in combination with separately-available accessories for additional functionality. They include an optional base-plate grip as well as strap connectors. For easy installation and removal, a 1/4"-20 folding-wing thumb screw mount allows the base plate to be connected to the camera body. The mount also features a hex socket for installation or removal using an included 5/32 hex key. Dual retaining screws are also provided along the underside of the base plate. If positioned for use, those screws prevent the base plate and an attached camera from accidentally sliding off when the clamp it is placed on is opened.
When installed, the base plate fits precisely onto the camera. For direct attachment to accessories such as a tripod or straps that feature 1/4"-20 mounts, the underside of the base plate is tapped with one 1/4"-20 female accessory thread. The underside of the base plate also has a receiver for a Really Right Stuff QD "Quick Detach" connector utilized by many Really Right Stuff camera straps, as well as three additional 3.5mm female accessory threads along each end. When the bottom of the base plate faces the user with the 1/4"-20 female accessory thread above the 1/4"-20 folding-wing thumb screw mount, the three accessory threads on the left side can be used to secure a separately-available base-plate grip. When holding the camera in the shooting position, that base-plate grip can increase security and comfort by enhancing the amount of surface area available to the user's right hand. Similarly, the three accessory threads that are then on the right side accommodate the vertical plate.
