The L-Component for BD850 Plate from Really Right Stuff is part of a modular system and attaches directly to the compatible base plate to create the L-bracket for the Nikon D850. Moreover, the Arca-type component is machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 aluminum and has a laser-engraved centering mark, which helps to center the camera when mounted to a head. In addition, the L-component maintains access to the camera ports for tethering or to connect a camera remote.

Q: 6. Does this work with the FTZ adapter ?

A: According to Really Right Stuff, yes, the Really Right Stuff Base Plate for Nikon Z7 and Z6, B&H # REBZ7BASEPLT, may be used while the FTZ adapter is attached to the camera. However, please note that you would not be able to attach a base plate to the FTZ adapter simultaneously while this base plate is connected to the camera body. If you wish to attach a base plate to the FTZ adapter, then the base plate for the camer would need to be removed. To summarize, you may use one base plate on the camera, or one base plate on the FTZ adapter, but you cannot use a base plate on both the camera and FTZ adapter simultaneously. I hope that makes sense.
