Testimonials
I cannot say enough good things about the Op/Tech Pro Strap I purchased a few weeks ago. I had a previous version of the Op/Tech strap on a different camera. The curve of the strap is what drew me to this one. Makes all the difference, especially if you are carrying a camera with a long tele lens.

A little while ago I was looking for a top of the line tripod and various attachments for my lenses, etc. The advice, suggestions and help in general I received from a staff member was excellent and made the purchase a very pleasant experience. Ernst Schneider

The new NSN Safety Plate for Gitzo tripods is designed for ultimate security. In Stock Now!

The combination of a telephoto lens, teleconverter, camera, flash, and tripod head is very heavy. When carrying a tripod over the shoulder, this weight puts additional stress on the tripod plate. After numerous discussions and requests by photographers, we have responded by developing a product that provides additional support to the Gitzo top plate, while offering “peace of mind.” Our plate is custom designed, machined, & manufactured especially for NatureScapes using aerospace industry 6061 anodized aluminum, along with two stainless steel bolts - which bolt you will use depends on your tripod model. Not pictured the plate is anodized - not unfinished as shown.

The plate is a perfect fit, positioned snugly below the existing Gitzo plate, inside the “basin.” Once installed, the Gitzo plate can not move or loosen, therefore preventing the head & photo equipment from falling. The plate is also available in another size to fit the newest Gitzo 35 series Carbon fiber tripods as well as some older tripods. See the GSP-35 model >

The GSP-55 is for use with the GT5541LS and the older GT1548.

The NSN safety plate was shipped and received quickly.

Advantages: Provides peace of mind when carrying the tripod over my shoulder with a heavy gimbal and expensive camera and lens. Hey, we all do it..

Disadvantages: None that I can think of.

Fits well to my 5541. In my opinion, it lacks a spacer between plate and bottom of tripod base. Over tightening will stress the base. I inserted washers between plate and base as filler.

Also, including a lock washer would have been nice,as is, bolt will loosen in time. For now, I installed with Loc-tight.

Advantages: Machined and fits well.

Disadvantages: Over tightening may stress base of tripod.
