Phase1 XF - RRS L Plate

FYI...I spoke with Really Right Stuff today regarding them producing an L plate for the new XF body. As they were not aware of the new body they requested those who would like an L plate for the XF to contact RRS @ [email protected] andlet them know this is a product you would like to see available so they can see if there is a large enough audience to justify production

Look closely at the product shoot from Phase showing a lineup of three bodies. The XF on the far right seems too be wearing a L bracket.

According to the specs, the width is about the same. Depending on the placement of the tripod socket, the current one might already fit the new camera.


(W x H x D)

645DF+ 153 x 128 x 184 mm
......XF 152 x 135 x 160 mm

The XF is built to honor legacy accessories (save for electrically integrated components). It even has the Mamiya Legacy "dimples" on the bottom.
The existing L Bracket fits just fine, no need for a new one.

Here's the pic

Don, I think that bracket on the Phase One XF is the Phase One L bracket they manufacture. We do believe we confirmed that it fit the XF, so that means there is one currently available for the XF already, complete with a nice handstrap and a Phase One logo.

As I recall, RRS actually makes the L-bracket for Phase One. The RRS version does not have the pretty etched logo. RRS also sells the Camdapter hand strap---the same one that Phase uses on their L-bracket. :)

Assuming this is the same bracket shown on the XF, I'll place bets that the Flex L Plate won't be a problem on the XF either.

Wayne, we have both the XF camera body and the Smart Flex Plate in house at Capture Integration. I have Anthiny tested that on Monday and report back.

We have L Brackets from RRS, Phase One, and SmartFlex in our inventory (the RRS L Bracket is the legacy version).

I tried all 3 on the XF Camera today, and they all seem to fit and function perfectly fine.

What advantages to the Smart Flex? What do the knobs allow for? I assume that is the bracket in the picture?

Thanks

Thank you Paul, The priority of the smart Flex is = to keep the lens at the same place (perspective ,composition unchanged)
when switching from Horizontal to Vertical or V to H. and as the camera plate is move able,
this enable to find The Nodal point for panoramic shooting.
