FAQs

Will this block the Creative Dial on the OM-3?

No, the plate is specifically engineered to maintain full access to all interfaces, including the Creative Dial and card slots.

Can I attach a wrist strap with this plate installed?

The plate does not interfere with standard camera strap lugs, allowing you to use your preferred wrist or neck strap.

What is the material of the grip?

The handgrip is crafted from solid wood, while the main mounting plate is constructed from durable aluminum.

Is the magnetic wrench included?

Yes, a magnetic flat wrench is integrated into the design for easy installation and removal.

Does this plate fit other OM SYSTEM cameras?

This model is specifically designed for the OM SYSTEM OM-3 and may not fit other models properly due to differences in camera body dimensions.

Troubleshooting

The camera feels slightly loose on the plate.

Ensure the 1/4"-20 mounting screw is fully tightened using the provided magnetic flat wrench.

The battery door is obstructed.

Check that the plate is properly aligned with the camera's tripod socket. If the plate is shifted even slightly, it may block access to the door.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Align the L-plate with the tripod mount on the bottom of your OM SYSTEM OM-3.
Use the included magnetic flat wrench to tighten the 1/4"-20 screw until secure.
Verify that the silicone pads are flush against the camera bottom to prevent movement.

Compatibility:

This unit is specifically designed for the OM SYSTEM OM-3. It supports standard Arca-type quick-release systems, including SmallRig models like ID 4353 and 4221, as well as Manfrotto-style tripods like ID 4259.

Care:

Clean the aluminum body with a dry, lint-free cloth. To maintain the appearance of the wooden handle, avoid exposing it to extreme moisture or harsh chemicals. If the wood becomes dull over time, a light wood-safe wax or oil may be applied to restore the finish.
