Quick release adapter for small/compact camera compatible with RC2 Manfrotto system

thingiverse

The proposed adapter allows to use the same quick release system for a DSLR and a compact camera. As the plate of the RC2 QR is quite big and doesn't allow to open the battery door, an adapter and a small plate were designed. Another requirement was, for me, to use the same camera bag keeping the QR plate (not possible with the 200Pl plate). Key features are: - Low footprint plate. - Easy install/uninstall adapter. - Doesn't block battery door (depending on your camera). I have designed a specific plate for my Lumix TZ100 and another standard one with a centered hole. You can use the scad files to redesign the plate/adapter according to you own purposes. The role of the rubber band is only to keep in place the adapter before inserting the plate.
