Hi Massimo,
Thanks a lot. Funny that you should ask, I have an upcoming buying guide for tripods and l-plates. But you get the necessary details here. For my Nikon D800 I have the Really Right Stuff l-plate, but I find it insanely expensive. Also I live in Europe, and have to put tax on top of it. I therefore end up with a price $140 + 30% = $182, for a piece of metal. Recently I bought a Sony A6000, and there was no way I could get myself to buy an l-plate worth half the price of the camera. No way! So I started searching, and I found the Neewer on Amazon and got it home for a price around $35, this is the D800 version (I got the A6000 which is $10 cheaper) Neewer Black Aluminum QR Quick Release L-Plate for Nikon D800 and D800E. And how do they compare? Well, seen from my perspective, Neewer and Really Right Stuff are made equally solid. I don’t have the exact same l-plates, but I have three Really Right Stuff and one Neewer, and I won’t be buying anymore Really Right Stuff plates. Neewer feel the same, look the same at the cost of 1/5th – it’s a no brainer.

Hi Jacob,
Thank you for this very useful tutorial for perfect poodle reflection !
You talk about L-plate, Can you tell me which model of L-plate do you have for Nikon D800.
I haven’t decide to buy yet…maybe it’s worth the purchase.

Thanks again
Ciao
