Ricoh GR Compact Arca Tripod Plate

This is a very compact arca-type tripod plate designed to fit the Ricoh GR (first gen APSC). It probably will fit the GR II as well, but I haven't tested on that - If you're able to print a copy and give it a try, please leave a comment!

It does not fit on the GRIII/GRIIIx since they are slightly smaller - I have an updated design for those here: https://www.printables.com/model/543609-ricoh-griii-griiix-compact-arca-tripod-plate-updat

It's designed to match the shape of the camera body and brace against it to stay secure, while leaving plenty of room to get the battery out without removing the plate.

The plate includes a strap connection point so you can get your wrist or neck strap connectors out of the way of your hands by putting them under the body*.

I've tested it with these screws: https://www.mcmaster.com/92220A181/

Just get a 1/4 20 screw that is about 1/4" long, with a head no wider than 0.375".

I recommend using a small piece of non-adhesive friction tape between the plate and the camera body to further prevent movement.

I've used Duck brand, I imagine anything similar will work fine. https://smile.amazon.com/Duck-393150-Friction-4-Inch-Single/dp/B0000CBIAT

⚠ Disclaimer! Use at your own risk!

I have been using 3d printed tripod plate + strap connector combos for years with no problems, but ultimately the safety of your gear is up to you, and I take no responsibility for any damages caused if your copy of this design breaks or does not work with your gear.

I printed mine with 30% infill, 3 perimeters, and 9 solid layers top and bottom for strength - though this might be overkill, my test copy on Prusa Slicer's .20 speed preset seemed pretty sturdy.

*This is designed to fit one or two of the small Op/Tech Mini QD connectors side by side - but many other types of strap connector should fit.
