I don't use one but be cautious - I think I have read of several people having issues with the bottom plastic plate of the camera cracking up around the tripod socket when using these on M bodies.

Lovely shot.

Thanks, I'll be careful. I can see how part of the problem might be that you have to remove the capture clip plate to change the battery. Repeated tightening might be what cracks it.

I seem to remember that the comments from those that experienced the failures was that they thought it was the constant "bouncing" up and down (the whole camera + lens weight is hanging off the screw) while walking/hiking etc that basically caused a fatigue failure of the area. I could see how repeated tightening of the screw (especially over-zealous tightening) could contribute to the failures though.
