Any update on the plate for the D3?
Bob:
Any reason this would not work?

Seems like reinventing the wheel!
2nd prototype of D3 is ready.Quote:

NIck
Great to know - when I purchased the M! I was told that I would get this as an upgrade - will I have ot call or will it be sent like the upper rotator know was.
Thanks much
contact your reseller when you see the plate in the store.Quote:

@Bob, you will like the new D3 Clamp clicking into position automatically. Have a look for CP-U4G when it is ready for sale.
Heinz
Heinz, you can't imagine...
And, when this has settled down, I plan to suggest that the same thing be done for the quick release plates of the NN5 that I use with my D300.
Nick - any idea when the D3 plate will be in the store? What will it be designated? It it is there I'm not finding/recognizing it.Quote:

Hi,
this is the upper rail end clamp, QR40A: http://store.nodalninja.com/products...pper-Rail.html This has to be used for the new camera plates. The problem with NN5 is that this plate has to be able to slide on the fixed upper rail. M1 has fixed clamps and the rail slide through the clamp. The knob of QR40A is too thick to slide on the upper rail of NN5. The clamp needs a 10mm lift with an adapter to get the knob free.
Heinz
Thanks Heinz that's very helpful.
Just an add-on: To mount QR40A directly to Camera Plate Mounting Knob of NN5 we need a lift of 10mm for free space of the knob. http://store.nodalninja.com/products...ting-Knob.html
To avoid twist, we need a socket in the adapter for the Anti Twist Screws of QR40a to be very secure. Just got an idea this evening. Cp-2 camera plate has a total height of 10mm. With the high Anti Twist Flange of it it might be possible to secure QR40A in position without Anti twist Screw Sockets in the Adapter. I'll test it tomorrow and try to take some pics. In case it will work, you can just use your old CP-2 Camera Plate to slide along the upper rail of NN5 and use the new brilliant camera plates on NN3 NN4 NN5, in case the lower rail will take the new offset. I will tell you tomorrow.
