Looks good
This is my 2nd bracket. First was purchased for my Canon 5dM4 and I like the quality. I also purchased the a7riii so it was determined I would order the RRS bracket for my Gitzo. There are several reviewers that discuss the battery door removal and re-install to the bracket. This migration provides users an option to change out the battery. I would not know the performance of weather sealingI only use the bracket when I know its going to be needed on a tripod so having to remove the bracket to get to the battery is not an issue, especially since battery life has been improved on the a7riii.

Top notch
I generally wait at least 3 months post-acquisition to review a product, but since there are no real moving parts here I figured I would go ahead and review this after a couple weeks of consistent use. Like all RRS kit this is built very well. It is also thoughtfully engineered to handle the side mount battery of the GFX 50S. The plate locks down into my tripod head as expected - in both the horizontal and vertical orientation - and doesnt allow any slip. I have yet to try this with my battery grip but given the design of the grip I see no reason why it wont work. Top notch product.

Solid and well made, but gasket was problematic
I love the design and build quality of this bracket. Initially, I was skeptical about moving the battery door, but the switch was quite easy and well described, and the door itself works well. However, after 3 weeks, I started having difficulty removing the battery and found the the foam rubber gasket around the battery compartment had begun to squish into the interior. After re positioning a few times, I finally cut the section out because it just wouldn't stay in place. I feel a better gasket solution is required... the price certainly warrants that. I would rate a 5 otherwise.

A convenient addition to the Olympus body
This low profile Arca Swiss base plate adds very little to the bulk of the Olympus E-M1 camera body and negligible weight. "Fits like a glove" comes to mind. It does not impede the operation of the battery door. It has a screw hole for direct attachment to a tripod head screw, if you prefer. An RRS side bracket can be attached to the base plate to convert the assembly to an L-bracket. The side bracket largely allows the articulated rear screen to operate with little (but not no) interference to its full range of operation. Essential if you have other RRS Arca Swiss equipment.

Essential but terribly fiddly.
I too am an enthusiast for RRS and agree that their L plate greatly aids handling. I have nothing but praise for their L-plate for the Canon 5D mk 2. But the side part on this one I find is terribly fiddly, and I'd dread trying to put it on in the field. All too often the screw comes out and with it the nut-like piece that has the hole for a strap. Yet my fingers are of average size. The screw-head is smooth, both around its perimeter and on top. Why no milling or knurling? It would be even better if the screw-head could be placed above the nut, rather than within the frame.

Really Right Stuff B5DMkIV-L Set L-Plate
The Really Right Stuff B5DMkIV-L Set L-Plate is very sturdy and mounts up nice and snug to the camera body, it also adds to the camera body in terms of grip without the weight which is where it is at for me most of the time shooting wildlife on the fly is not easy and being on target quickly is very important as the subject usually tends not to stay very long, if at all. The Really Right Stuff B5DMkIV-L Set L-Plate also mounts and dismounts from my tripod quickly and hassle free unlike other mounting systems I have used in the past. This L-plate gets two thumbs up from me.

Fits like a factory part
Like every other piece of RRS equipment I've bought over the years, this one fits like it was made by the factory. Adds just enough extra height to the body to let all of my little finger get a grip, and of course adds the Arca Swiss pattern dovetail that works so well with the clamps on my monopods and tripods. Not the cheapest base plate out there, but the highest quality fit and finish. (The magnetic dots that lock an allen wrench on the bottom - out of the way of a clamp but always available if needed - are a very cool, and very convenient, bonus.)

High quality camera specific plate
This plate is very high quality and works well. I was a bit disappointed that when the quick-release is in the sliding position, the removable safety pin only prevents the camera from sliding out in one direction because it is located to the far right side of the plate. This is the preferable direction, as it protects the camera when held in the natural portrait position, but I would have preferred a second safety pin, or a hole for one located in the center of the plate to prevent it from sliding out in either direction. Overall, works great though.

Other than Price what is there not to Love?
It is almost embarrassing writing a review about a piece of machined metal. I do love it - it works, it is "pretty", and it is not all that much more expensive than other options that are readily available. I was more impressed with the buying experience with B&H. I live in NE Thailand. I ordered from B&H over the Internet. Shipping costs were reasonable. I was able to track the progress of the item all the way from half a world away to my door. The item arrived on the date as promised (5 business days) and better yet ... without any duty.

Solid protection in addition to tripod link
RRS brackets are a work of engineering art. Solid, well designed and beautifully produced. These brackets have saved my camera numerous times in falls so in addition to their intended purpose they provide great protection for the camera to which they are attached. Expensive but function effectively. The new modular design solves the problem of wifi modules and tethering using Canon's provided jerk stopper but does not compromise the strong protection and stability of the bracket.I have RRS L-brackets on all three of my Canon DSLRs.

You get what you pay for
Everyone knows about Really Right Stuff gear - high quality engineering and design but ... pricey. This bracket is exactly that. It is beautifully designed and engineered but a third more than the nearest competitor (Kirk) and triple the Chinese brands. I bought it because I want to use it with a wired shutter release and intervalometer. The RRS bracket is the only one available that makes that possible. But considering what I spent on my X-T2 and a few quality lenses, an extra hundred bucks for this bracket isn't really an issue.

Not a great buy
The product was easy enough to install and seemed solid at first. I do not have some concern the strap attachment side may go loose sometime and it becomes terribly true. Felt horrible. After few days in the field with some rough hiking/driving, the screw for the strap attachment came lose (thankfully I had a hold of the camera at the time, I still felt so lucky.). The screw on the bottom came lose as well after extended use. Consider other options before purchasing given the price. I will definitely go with different ones.

An Arca L-Plate is and Essential Tool
I have purchased L-Plates for every camera Ive owned since 2003 (the Digital Age), and Sony has been no exception. They keep the weight and lens centered on a tripod in the vertical position, and help protect the camera, somewhat like a roll cage. Cables attached to the side (e.g., for video) are protected, and that protection can be augmented with an Arca cable clamp. The RRS L-plates have two sockets for straps with a military-style quick connector, which is a secure way to carry the camera and easily removed as needed.

These L-Plate Sets are Indispensable!!!
I have previously purchased RRS L-Plates for a Sony NEX-7, an RX1-R, and an older Nikon DSLR. They are perfectly made and fitted, best quality without a doubt, and make tripod use of these cameras quick and simple! In addition, they are very attractive and give that extra needed heft and protection to these digital cameras. This new alpha A9/A7RIII model is equally excellent and provides that same feeling of security, durability, and confidence as the others. A solid product which, although expensive, is the very best!

Really Pleased
The RRS L plate for the GFX is first class as expected. The feature that wedges the two pieces is pure genius, locks in place with an easy tug and pop to loosen it. The wing nut allows you to take to the field without an allen wrench that can be lost. You have to remove the L end to get the battery out, but I use the 110v charging system, so there is no need to remove the battery. If I am going to have a long day, I can trade out the L plate for the vertical battery grip, and use the plate alone. I am happy with it.

A unique plate for a unique camera
This is a nice silver camera QR plate for the silver-trimmed version of the Nikon Df. It's also the only Arca-type QR plate I could find for the Df. Really Right Stuff quality speaks for itself and it fits the camera perfectly. With one of their B2-FABN strap boss mini-clamps added to the vertical leg of the L, you can get a good grip on the left side of the camera without setting off any of the mine field of buttons at the left edge of the monitor screen. I only wish there was a black version for the black Df.

A Work of Art In Its Own Right
The RRS Base Plate for the E-M1 II is easily the best of the many (usually RRS) Arca-compatible plates I have purchased for various cameras. The fit and finish is perfect, the Allen wrench lives in the plate, there's an attachment lug and perfectly placed tripod screw hole. It won't leave the camera. What IS puzzling is the $100 additional cost of the L component. Seems like a bit of price gouging by RRS. I DIDN'T purchase this, because the design of the one for the original E-M1 made it essentially unusable.

Solid RRS quality, fits well
Used with: Sony a6500 Pros: RRS quality; doesn't interfere with battery door; adequate clearance for ports and strap D-rings Cons: I deducted one star because I was interested in using the Peak Design grip/strap system, but this plate doesn't have a place on the bottom for the Peak loop connector to use. It appears that any connection to the bottom would have to be via screw, and would therefore have to be removed for tripod mounting. If you use a traditional neck strap (or no strap) there's no issue.

Does what it is supposed to do
The plate is accurately machined, nicely finished, and fits perfectly. It provides good access to the battery, memory card slot, and articulating LCD panel. It has one safety stop screw instead of two, but it is on the same side as the shutter release where it is most often needed. It adds noticeable height and weight to the camera. The idea of attaching a hex key with magnets in a recess on the bottom side is interesting but not particularly effective; I found the key in the bottom of my camera bag.

Too Early to Say
My RRS gear is always great but it is too early to judge this on only because the camera it will fit is on back order. I keep L brackets on all my cameras for two reasons. Firstly, they are convenient with a tripod and I mostly do landscapes from tripod. Second, when I do hand hold and walk around, they provide a bit of protection. Sometimes I set the camera on a rock or railing and the L bracket protects the finish on the camera. More later I guess after I get the camera and confirmed it fits well.

This has become part of my camera body!
This is the first accessory I purchased for my a7r3 as I had one on my Canon 5DM4 and loved it. I keep the baseplate on the camera 98% of the time. Ill even attach a Peak Design Capture plate to the bottom when I want to have it attached to my backpack strap. The L component goes on it whenever I am heading out with a tripod and in fact it probably on it 60% of the time. I can still charge and upload using the USB-C port without having to remove either the baseplate or the L component. Works great.

Bespoke design
I recently switched to an L-Bracket and fluid head system for my tripod set up. This is such a good system that I have no regrets ditching my ball head and quick release plate system. Superb construction, materials, and design! The quick release sling points at the bottom of the plate keep a low profile so there isn't any interference with my hand when shooting in portrait orientation and gripping from the battery grip. Using the quick release system for slinging your camera is BAR NONE the best!

Super Product!
If you are at all serious about photography this is a must have item no matter what camera you are using. These Really Right Stuff L-Plates are extremely well made and well designed. The A7RIII plate firs very snugly to the camera, adding very little to the dimensions of the A7RIII. The battery door transfers from the camera to the plate so you don't have to 'dig' for the door latch. The plate also offers some extra protection to the camera from bumps and scrapes! Well worth the price!

Phenomenal
I believe they've actually updated the product from the thumbnail one in this product description. The only difference being an updated "RRS" logo on the front, rather than the outdated and rather long, "Really Right Stuff" as seen in the picture. They also added an additional smaller hex key that is magnetized to the side as well. Everything you need is included, easy to install, fits perfectly, and has no slop. It really feels solid and feels just like its part of the camera body.
