Baseplate Only

Love the plate. I wanted a plate over something like the lemur strap so I could use it with a gun sling and have my camera lay flat compared to attached from the top. Perfect for what it is and I feel a lot safer using this than similar versions on Amazon. Also aesthetically pleasing so that’s a plus. My only hope in the fire is the machining gets a little tighter but that isn’t a big issue and I still 100% trust it.

Quality product and materials at a reasonable price. I did not need another camera strap just the base plate and I could not be happier with the product.

This is a great system - I had my own strap so I only got the baseplate, but if I were starting from scratch I would get the whole system - it makes so much sense. Adds pretty much as much weight as a JJC baseplate/handle, so not much, but securely holds the camera when clicked in, while allowing very rapid removal of the camera when needed. I have had tons of shots that might have been missed as I wouldn't have been able to wedge my arm into strange positions (especially when taking pictures of children, who often don't allow you to get into a kneeling position or to set up for a good shot)

The only recommendations I would make for a MK2 is to allow the baseplate a little more adjustability, and to make the system one-hand operable e.g. using one's little finger or something to release the catch.

Very much recommended overall.

I already have a strap that I like, so I only bought the base because I like the strap fastening to the base of the camera. It works well, it is beautiful, and it is easy enough to to attach. However, how hard would it be to put a 1/4" threaded hole in the bottom so that I can attach my tripod to it? I have to remove it every time I want to use my tripod. So, just because I am carrying my camera around my neck means that I don't want to use my tripod?

Received in great condition and on time. Used it over the weekend and couldn’t be more pleased.
