Default Arca-swiss type camera plate for E3

Hi all,

May I know which Arca-swiss camera plate you use for E3 with grip?

I am looking for 1. hopefully it has a curve to prevent movement.

TIA

Try this specific plate for the E3, it has a 'stub' to fit into the groove near the tripod mount on the camera to prevent the plate from twisting.

Unfortunately no, the HLD-4 grip do not have the 'groove' for the stub. Sucks right? Wonder what the Olympus designers were thinking...

If you want to use it with the grip, try this...

Exclamation Re: Arca-swiss type camera plate for E3

Hi,

Doing a bit of self-promotion here - the Acratech plates are available locally from Photo ToolKit in Singapore :-

http://shop.phototoolkit.com/sg/acra...ra-plates.html

Thus saving you the cost of shipping from the US.
