This L-shaped mount plate lets you switch quickly between horizontal and vertical shooting while keeping your Sony Alpha camera stable and accessible. It attaches securely to the camera body and adds features for tracking, cable management, ergonomics, and fast tripod/gimbal transitions.
The mount plate fastens to your camera with a 1/4"-20 screw. In addition, protective pads sit between the plate and the camera body to prevent scratches and protect the finish.
The upper side plate includes a 1/4"-20 threaded hole. This accepts a ball head or magic arm, so you can mount a small monitor, microphone, or a second camera for multi-angle and dual-camera setups.
The plate features an integrated AirTag slot. You can insert an AirTag tracker to help locate your camera and add a layer of tracking convenience without additional modification.
The side plate retracts by 24mm. As a result, you get flexible cable routing that avoids blocking side ports on the camera, so you can run HDMI, USB, or power cables without interference.
The plate includes a hinged arm that sits at the battery compartment. This hinged arm improves ergonomics and provides dedicated pinky-finger support for steadier handheld shooting.
The bottom of the mount plate integrates an Arca-Swiss quick release plate for seamless compatibility with Arca-type tripods and heads. This allows rapid switching between handheld, tripod, and gimbal setups.
Additionally, the plate includes a QD socket for attaching quick-release shoulder straps, so you can use strap-based carry and support systems with ease.
