SUNWAYFOTO PNL-Z6 Dedicated L Plate for Nikon Z6 / Z7 Camera Arca/RRS Compatible Sunway

I purchased this in February 2020 and it has remained continuously on my Nikon Z6. Another brand, which I purchased before discovering this one, sits on my Z7, but costs twice as much. I have not had a single issue with this L-bracket. It is sturdy, locks well in place, and has served me well.One word of caution: The Nikon Z6II and presumably the Nikon Z7II (the latter having not been publicly released at the time I’m writing this review) now has a dual-card slot. The body is every so slightly thicker than the Z6. As a result, this does not line up precisely with the ports on the Z6II body. So it’s not a perfect fit. But it’s great for the original Z6/Z7.

This fits my Nikon Z6 perfectly, not obscuring any of the ports that I need to access. It does not block the battery compartment. It is compatible with my Arca-Swiss style tripod mount. It would be nice to have a 1/4 inch threaded mount on the bottom so I could attach it to my monopod, but my FTZ adapter has one, so that works for me. The bracket has a nice space where I could attach the PD Leash connector for my shoulder strap.

Exactly what the title states. Bottom doesn’t sit flush causing the side to angle

I have three of these brackets for my three cameras and they all work very well. Much less expensive than the premium brands. The only significant drawback from those brands is that the bracket is made from two pieces, and it may occasionally come lose at the L corner. Easily fixed by tightening the screws. That feature, however, also lets you adjust the width of the bracket, so that the left side if further away from the camera body, which some people like to do.Easy access to the ports on the left and I particularly like that I can put the "Unleashed" remote in, which is then completely recessed and does not protrude out. That lets you use the camera mounted on the left side for vertical photos, without impact on said remote control.

I like the bracket the only issue I found was the the two arca / rss aren't the same size had to grind down a couple of mm so I can use it on my pd travel tripod

Initially I was happy, even though it took a couple of hours of trial and error adjusting with spacer washers to get a proper fit. But I frequently need to use the side ports to tether in the studio and use Nikon's radio flash trigger, and found that sliding the clamp to clear access is a clumsy affair, especially on location. And I notices that the finish scratches very easily, so this L-Plate is the most delicate I've owned.

This is a sturdy product, fits perfectly without wobble or play. Thoughtfully designed because the camera can slide to the right along the long-edge of the bracket to expose camera L side. This provides access to camera I/O ports ( shutter trigger, usb-connector etc) while mounted vertically (portrait orientation). I didn't see at first the small black threaded insert for the Safety Stop Screw, which fits into a recess on the bracket. It holds the Safety stop screw to the bracket to mate with a hole in the camera bottom, to prevent wobble. Look carefully for that insert when you take the bracket out of its package.

The plate may fit the Nikon Z6 and Z7 but it does not fit properly on the Nikon Z5. lt sits at an angle because of a ridge on the bottom of the plate. The location of the ridge is too narrow for the width of the base of the Z5 which is the cause of the poor fit. I'm returning it for a refund
