Acratech 2173 Reviews

Fits like a glove

I use this clamp on the Panasonic GH2, and it really is a perfect fit. I first bought a generic plate, but the GH2's tripod mount is not flush with the surface of the camera, meaning that with a flat plate the mount actually physically flexes when the camera is attached to a pro-level ball head (where you dial in a constant friction level to keep the head in place rather than loosening the head and clamping it down to make adjustments). So then I got this Acratech 2173, and it's absolutely perfect on top of my Markins Q10 head. No sign that it wants to move. My original generic plate is now attached to my Olympus OM-1, and all is right with the world. I do wish there was a fitted plate for my camera that had a loop for a hand strap, but I'll manage without it.

Perfect for GH2

Fits the GH2 perfectly. Unlike the ReallyRightStuff version there is no cork base so there are not compression issues.

question

How well will this work for Lumix G9?
Asked by: Serguei M.
We always like to check the fit of a plate for ourselves and this is one that we have not done. If you are needing something to use, try the generic plate 2128. This is always a handy plate to have as it will fit just about any camera.
