Thanks looks like it could work and rather cheap too :)

Arca Swiss do some small ones, Robert White Photography used to sell them.

Thank you for the suggestion
Yes he has quite a few for sale. Need to work out which fits my camera. But I am a little unsure what "MonoballFix" system is? Is it different to standard arca swiss plates?

I'm pretty sure the fix system is a different head system, something you can add bits to.

They are quite helpful so they would be able to advise, I've got a few of the arca swiss plates of different sizes from them.

yeah nice people indeed. I used buy my voigtlander lenses from them.

I'll give them a call :)
 
Sony really needs to provide lossless compression. In fact they did have the option in Sony A900 and A700 back in the days but Sony in their infinite wisdom decided to remove that option all together. Then when people complained about compressed RAW instead of simply adding back the lossless compressed RAW they gave the new uncompressed option :banghead:

sometimes you really can't make this stuff up :P
 
The "issue" with A7RIII is that while the base is fairly wide (~65mm) the tripod mount hole is not in the centre. So a lot of plates would stick out despite being small-ish.

How about this one:

Looks like the screw can got quite close to the front so should not stick out.

yes saw that and also this one - https://www.photoproshop.com/Camera...uick-release-plate-Sony-A7R-III--Sony-A9.html
which are made specifically for A9/A7(R)III bodies. I don't like the 'lip' at the end because I imagine this won't fit to any other body properly unless its closely designed to A9/A7III specs.
So in future I may end up in the same place as i am in now. I am looking for a more general purpose one that'll also fit my A7RIII.
 
Can anyone recommend me an L-bracket to fit my Sony A7Riii that has a tripod screw mount I can use when the camera is in the portrait configuration? The ones I've looked at all seem to be of the slide in tripod fitting (I basically want to be able to screw it to a Syrp Genie Mini). Thanks :)
 
Going to order another Sigma 50 ART (last one needed a FW update, initial batch minor issue). The lens is just to good.

1st batch didn't have any AF in video whatsoever, very limited batch apparently, confirmed directly with Sigma. Other than that, no issue at all.

Haven’t tried mine in video. Popping out again tonight so will take a look. Cheers.
