Add versatility to your Platypod Pro, Max, or Ultra with this New! Multi Accessory Kit from Platypod. Included in this kit is a new 2" wide Arca-compatible quick release plate featuring a circular design and bubble level. The bottom of the plate offers a 3/8"-16 female connection for attaching to tripods or your Platypod, and the top of the plate provides a 1/4"-20 male bolt for securing the plate to your camera. Another unique feature of this round plate is that it allows you to slightly rotate the camera without having to use the pan knob when using a ball head. For lighting and grip-related functionality a 3" spigot is included. This spigot features a 5/8" connection for mounting lights and more, and the bottom of the spigot provides a 3/8"-16 female connection. Also, the top of the spigot has a 1/4"-20 female connection for added versatility. A 36" cinch strap for securing your Platypod on large, freestanding objects such as trees and wide poles is also provided, and a silicone pad for a secure grip on flat surfaces is included as well.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this grip compatible with the new Nikon EN-EL18c battery? I noticed Nikon discontinued the EN-EL18b, so I just wanted to make sure.

A: Yes this will be able to use the EN-EL15C batteries.

Q: 2. Will the camera (with battery) still function if the battery grip (without battery) is attached? I'm essentially interested in buying it to add some weight to my d500 so it balances better with the 500mm f4 on my Wimberley

A: Yes, it will function.

Q: 3. Will this cover fit the Godox flash hot shoes? Any exceptions?

A: Yes. The Vello HSC-SMIF Protector for Sony Multi-Interface Accessory Foot, BH #VEHSCSMIF • MFR #HSC-SMIF, will fit a Godox flash that has a Sony multi-interface shoe.

Q: 4. Is the Vello BG-N17 Battery Grip for Nikon D500 compatible with the BL-5 battery chamber cover and an EN-EL 18a battery?

A: The grip holds one en-el15 battery while one stays in the battery compartment of the camera itself, doubling the battery power of the camera. That said, there is not enough space to hold the en-el18a in the grip.

Q: 5. Does the Vello BG-N19-2 grip work with the Nikon EN-EL-18 battery?

A: When used with the optional Nikon BL-5 Battery Chamber Cover ( https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/843387-REG/Nikon_27008_BL_5_Battery_Chamber_Cover.html ), the Vello BG-N19-2 Battery Grip for Nikon D850 is compatible with the Nikon EN-EL18b (Though not the EN-EL18 or EN-EL18a). Hope this helps.

Q: 6. will this fit my Canon 430 EX II speedlight ?

A: Even though its made specifically for Sony, it will fit on the foot of most flashes and offer adequate protection to the electrical contacts.

Q: 7. How well does this work with BL-5 and EN-EL18b on the D850? 9 FPS? Thanks.

A: I get 9 FPS. You have to go into the setup and recognize both batteries.

Q: 8. Do I need to buy the BL-5 Cover separately to be able to use this with the EN-EL18b Battery?

A: The EN-EL18b requires a BL-5 cover, not included with a grip. Its more than a cover as it actually holds the battery. I use a EN-EL18 battery which works fine with the Nikon made battery grip and BL-5 cover. While it all fits in the BG-N19-b with the EN-EL18 it did not connect properly to the D850. Thus Im returning the BG-N19-b. The BL-5/EN-EL18 works fine in another non-Nikon battery grip with a D500.

Q: 9. Will this holdup to being on a black rapid type strap ?

A: Yes this would hold up very well.

Q: 10. Can this be played on the switch Lite?

A: Yes, Animal Crossing: New Horizons (Nintendo Switch) can be played on the Switch lite.
