Following up the increased interest in the Sony mirrorless cameras, Sunwayfoto has included two more dedicated products in their expanding line of Arca-Swiss® compatible Specific Quick Release Plates and L brackets.
One of these is the PS-N5 specific plate for SONY NEX-5, a bidirectional QR camera plate with a minimal weight of 27 gr and a choice between three colors.

Sunwayfoto PS-N5 is a minimal structure adding only 27gr to the camera, following the bottom curves of the NEX-5 camera body thus making it product specific. |
Looking at the QR plate from the back we can see clearly the two small convex edges that act as stoppers against the front panel of the camera in order to avoid any twisting. |
A side view makes clear the 1/4"-20 mounting screw slot, which permits a small fore-aft adjustment, facilitating in this way the mounting of the QR plate at the bottom of the camera body. |
The bottom dovetail is square 39 x 39 mm, which permits the bidirectional mounting of the camera on an Arca-Swiss® compatible Quick Release Clamp. |
Mounting the plate on the Camera
Sunwayfoto PS-N5 fits perfectly on the bump under the lens mount. |
The square shape of the dovetail extends slightly at the back without becoming an obstacle to the tilting LCD screen.
|
With small lenses the plate's flat bottom surface can serve as a stand for the camera on its own. |
Alternative Colors
The choice of the Yellow (golden) color, in the closeup illustrations above, offers the proper contrast with the camera body in order to show the immaculate fitting of the QR plate. |
I hope you found the article useful, thank you for viewing.
