Arca-Swiss type tripod plate for R3A ?

[campbellcj]

Hi all. I'm a newbie here and recently acquired an R3A setup. I've searched around quite a bit and have not been able to ascertain if anybody (RRS, Kirk) makes a tripod body plate that will fit the R3A.

Does the Leica M-series plate fit the Bessa body? Any other options?

Thanks in advance for any tips!

Leica plate will not be good, but Arca Swiss itself makes a small plate for "compact" cameras which you can use, and RRS has a couple of plates that can be used, including a great L plate originally advertized as fitting the Epson RD1.

Thank you! I have been very happy with RRS gear and I suppose I should call/email them for a recommendation. The L-Plate sounds like the ticket.

Cheers

I don't think there is a plate made specifically for the R3. The best universal plate I have come across is the Wimberley P-5.
