5" Lens Plate

Review report of 5" lens plate

Posted by Koshiro Hashimoto on 15th Jun 2020

After my purchase of GP Ball-Head with lever clump, featured with gimbal
and pano shooting, I realized that I need a mounting bracket or plate to
mount Nikon 70-200 f/2.8 Telephoto lens and Teleconverter adaptor unit.
I purchase 5" lens plate to mount the system to D850, then to lever clump.

When it comes to use for wildlife shooting, I adjusted plate position for
weight center for balance. Then noticed that there's no dot nor line showing measurement guide, though I put a silver dot/s with permanent marker to record edge of Nikon 70-200 mounting holder. I like to see that
Acratch will add centimeter line /or dot by laser on the side edge of plate for convenience. I put ( .. ) for 200, ( ... ) for 300 then ( .I ) for 400mm for
that purpose. Also stopper screw to each end of the plate would give an additional safety to user. Otherwise, it meet all my goals perfectly.

Best regards,
