The Arca-type-compatible LB-Z8-UP L-Plate for Nikon Z8 from Photo Clam is a modular design that consists of an adjustable baseplate and an L-component. The L-bracket mounts to the camera body via 1/4"-20 threaded mount, and the camera body's detachable battery door snaps into the machined space of the baseplate. As a result, the battery door opens in the same manner as if it were part of the camera body, enabling complete access to the battery.

Q: 3. This seems to be a copyright infringement on Arca Swiss Cube. Is it the same item distributed by another company or a copy?

A: While I have not been able to find the original press release for the Photo Clam Multiflex Head with Arca-Type Plate, from what I could find, it appears the geared head was released sometime around 2013. While I could not find a reply as to if it is an exact copy of the Arca Swiss Cube or is it is a similar/modified geared head (nor could I find if the original patent had expired), the two items do seem very similar in appearance, though they do have small differences in usage and specifications.
