X-E3 Arca-Swiss compatible plate with battery access

Hi,

I finally went with an X-E3 as a second body to my X-T3. I don’t have it yet, but I was wondering if there is an Arca-Swiss compatible plate which leaves access to the battery / sd door. On my X-T3, I always leave my tripod plate attached and would like to know if this is also possible with the X-E3. I don’t think, however, that my Peak Design Standard Plate will fit without obstructing the batterydoor.

Many thanks in advance,

Fujifilm X-E3

Re: X-E3 Arca-Swiss compatible plate with battery access

It might not be just a plate, but the MHG-XE3 grip will have an Arca Swiss compatible base plate (no vertical plate).

According to Fuji Rumours , there are also L plates by Kenro and "First2savvv", although I cannot comment on either, not having owned them.

A google search for "Fuji X-E3 L Bracket" will yield a variety of results, many of which are third party chinese products. The cheapest I found cost a mere 20 USD. Again, no experience with the product, though.

I've bought a arca-swiss lens foot replacement for my 50-140mm and they are good quality.

Thanks.. that looks interesting.  What are the dimensions?  I'm in the UK, so can't buy that one, but maybe able to find something similar.

Check on eBay to see if they ship to the UK.  From what I know, dim's are 2" x 1.5" x .375".
