The new <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.smallrig.com\/SmallRig-Rotatable-Horizontal-to-Vertical-Mount-Plate-Kit-for-Nikon-Specific-Z-Series-Cameras-4306.html?gclid=CjwKCAjw38SoBhB6EiwA8EQVLhviVCKnpfLIjJjvGVwp-qc3hcG-7586nX6BdqQLjw5xcNS6_h85KRoCXxkQAvD_BwE\">SmallRig Horizontal-to-Vertical Mount Plate<\/a><\/strong> is a thing of design and machinery beauty that works brilliantly! To start with, it only works with the Z 6 &amp; II \/ Z 7 &amp; II \/ Z 8. It comes with an anti-twist camera mounting plate which I use. This slips into a clamp. That clamp in turn is connected to the rotating collar. Both of these have locking levers and safety buttons so nothing is going nowhere unless you want it to. This &#8220;mount&#8221; slides up and down that you adjust just once for the body you&#8217;re using and then you can mount \/ dismount all you want without adjusting any setting. You have to change nothing when you change lenses! The actual &#8220;rotation ring&#8221; makes no contact with the lens and only with the body via two, small support tabs. With that, you can rotate from vertical to horizontal and back again with great, smooth ease. You&#8217;re spinning on the lens axis so you do not have to &#8220;reframe&#8221; the photo when you rotate. You can even easily change lenses with the camera mounted to the rig. Whoever designed this thing knew what they were doing, it works flawlessly.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_column _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221;][et_pb_ds_before_after_slider _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.2&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; theme_builder_area=&#8221;post_content&#8221; title_text=&#8221;SmallRigRotHorVer_2&#8243; before_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SmallRigRotHorVer_1.jpg&#8221; after_image=&#8221;https:\/\/www.moosepeterson.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/SmallRigRotHorVer_2.jpg&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][\/et_pb_ds_before_after_slider][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;ll be totally upfront with ya, I got this unit because I was so curious just how the magic works!
