Fujifilm X-E2 Compact Arca Tripod Plate

thingiverse

This is a very compact arca-type tripod plate designed to fit the Fujifilm X-E2. It probably will fit on the X-E2s and X-E1 as well, but I haven't tested on those - If you're able to print a copy and give it a try, please leave a comment! It's designed to match the shape of the camera body and brace against it to stay secure, while leaving plenty of room to get the battery out without removing the plate. The plate includes a strap connection point so you can get your wrist or neck strap connectors out of the way of your hands by putting them under the body*. It's also much smaller than dedicated X-E2 tripod plates I was able to find for sale online. I've tested it with these screws: https://www.mcmaster.com/92220A181/ and there is an image attached with the specifications, since that's about as big as it can fit in terms of head width and height. Just get a 1/4 20 screw that is about 1/4" long, with a head no wider than 0.375". I recommend using a small piece of non-adhesive friction tape between the plate and the camera body to further prevent movement. I've used Duck brand, I imagine anything similar will work fine. https://smile.amazon.com/Duck-393150-Friction-4-Inch-Single/dp/B0000CBIAT ⚠ Disclaimer! Use at your own risk! I have been using 3d printed tripod plate + strap connector combos for years with no problems, but ultimately the safety of your gear is up to you, and I take no responsibility for any damages caused if your copy of this design breaks or does not work with your gear. I have not tested this design with lenses heavier than the XF 16-80 f/4 - though with very heavy lenses you should probably not carry it by the body anyway. I printed mine with 30% infill, 3 perimeters, and 9 solid layers top and bottom for strength - though this might be overkill, my test copy on Prusa Slicer's .20 speed preset seemed pretty sturdy. *This is designed to one of the big Op/Tech Uni Loop buckle connectors and one of the small Op/Tech Mini QD connectors side by side (one for a wrist strap, one for a neck/sling strap) - but many other types of strap connector should fit.
