Small PD Capture Compatible Arca Tripod Plate

thingiverse

I recently unwrapped a fantastic Peak Designs Capture camera clip on Christmas morning, only to discover that the included tripod plate was too cumbersome for my sleek Panasonic GM5. I already possess an Arca style tripod plate that fits my camera with precision, so I decided to create a more compact design that would pair perfectly with the PD Capture while maintaining Arca tripod compatibility. This new plate seamlessly integrates onto my GM5, allowing the battery door to swing open as long as it's mounted slightly off-center. To cater to different user preferences, I designed two distinct versions: one featuring slots for adjustable forward and backward positioning, and another with simple tapped holes. Before printing this design, ensure that you have a tripod screw on hand - mine happened to be a 1/4"-20 thread with a post height of approximately 7mm and about 4mm of exposed thread at the top. The head measures 11mm in diameter. Please note that I disclaim all responsibility for any potential damage to your camera equipment if you decide to use this design. My GM5 is particularly small and lightweight, so it may fare well under these conditions; however, keep in mind that the plate is printed from plastic and should be handled with caution.
