The Leica Q3 L-Plate with Grip from Really Right Stuff features a solid one-piece design that is handled comfortably by its ergonomic extended grip. The Arca-type L-plate facilitates easier, more stable switching between horizontal and vertical shooting orientations when working on top of a tripod. The CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum plate maintains complete access to the camera's battery door and side ports. It also has an anodized black finish that is resistant to scuffs and scratches and provides laser-engraved center marks on the back for alignment on a tripod head. An integrated QD socket is found on the bottom of the plate to use with compatible straps.
