RRS Camera Plate for Widelux 7 - is there one?

[ceb83]

Hi,

Just purchased a Widelux 7, and wondering if there's a Really Right Stuff mounting plate for it

Checked last years' RRS catalogue, nothing doing

Wondering if there's anyone with previous experience of a Widelux

Cheers,
Carol

I think you'd be just fine with a generic plate (one without a little flange to stop rotation). When I had a Widelux 7, I never used it vertically anyway.

I'm not familiar with the Widelux but a plate having a lip and a slot can work with a lot of different cameras. If the long side of the L is long enough a RRS MC-L (http://reallyrightstuff.com/ProductDesc.aspx?code=MC-L&type=0&eq=MC-L-003&desc=MC-L%3a-Multi-Camera-L-Plate) might even work, giving you the advantages of an L-plate. Alternatively either the Kirk Universal Quick Release Tall L-Bracket (http://www.kirkphoto.com/Universal_Quick_Release_Tall_L-Bracket.html) or a similar setup built from rails screwed together could give you an L-bracket.

An email or phone call should be able to give you the dimensions so that you could decide if it would work.

I am shooting Widelux and am using my standard Gitzo tripod with quick release, never had an issue...
