Testimonials
I purchased a Walkstool portable stool from Naturescape.net. GREAT experience. Their price was $79.99. Amazon was $10 more and B&H cameras was $5 more. Shipping is FREE. Ordered late Friday afternoon and received product around noon on Monday. I checked them out on ResellerRatings first. They only had seven ratings, buy every rating was five checkmarks. Soon after placing the order, I received an email from buySAFE informing me that Naturescape.net had, at no cost to me, purchased a buySafe “Cerificate of Guarantee” This does three things: Gurantees I get what I orderd, up to $500, or my money back, provides “identity theft protection” and a “low price guarantee” up to $100. There was a place on the buySAFE email to send a note to Naturescape.net. I send them a short note thanking them for the buySAFE guarantee. I soon received a personal note from the owner thanking me for my business and stating that he is a professional photographer. He suggested I call or email him personally if I had a questions about photography and camera equipment. I know it was a personal, rather than “boilerplate,” note because he told me how much he liked his Walkstool. That is what I call GREAT service!!! I’ll order from Naturescape.net again.

I ordered a Nanuk case from the NSN store. I didn't know that the Nanuk cases are shipped directly from the manufacturer, and that they don't ship internationally. (I live in Japan.) Well, I received an email from Tara of NSN that read, "The Nanuk Cases are shipped directly from NANUK when we recieve an order, however, they do not ship internationally. So I will have them deliver the case to me. Once I receive it, I will ship your NANUK case and the Think Tank Cable Management altogether. This process will take about one week. Once it ships, I will get the Express Mail tracking number to you." This my friends is know as GREAT SERVICE!!!!!

Wimberley's P-5 Universal Camera Body Plate has a thin layer of dense, textured rubber on its top surface which grips the bottom of your camera, yet maintains the same solid feel that you get with a metal-to-camera connection. Beneath the rubber, the top surface of the plate has a wide, shallow cut-out running across the middle of the plate. This cut-out ensures that the frictional force is concentrated on the outer portions of the plate providing the maximum mechanical advantage to resist twisting. The result is a plate that is very solidly attached to your camera body, and will not twist.

As a universal plate there is no need to buy a new plate when you buy a new camera. It can be used on your camera with or without the vertical grip attached. The P-5 works with camera bodies, point-and-shoot cameras, medium format cameras, and even collared lenses. It also features the same unique dual safety stops found on Wimberley lens plates.

Includes a 5 year warranty.

Please see the Specifications tab below for additional information and training videos.

P-5 FEATURES:

Universal Design

  • Fits virtually any SLR, as well as many point-and-shoot cameras
  • No need to buy a new plate each time you upgrade your gear.
  • Easily move from camera to camera or share plates between multiple cameras.

Rock-Solid Connection - Wimberley specifically designed the P-5 to provide a solid, twist-free connection to your camera body.

  • How It Works The P-5 features a thin layer of dense, textured rubber on its top surface. This coating grips the bottom of your camera, but is so dense and thin that it maintains the solid feel of a metal-to-camera connection. Beneath the rubber, the top surface of the plate is machined to ensure that the frictional force is concentrated on the outer portions of the plate. This provides the maximum mechanical advantage to resist twisting.


Lightweight
- 1.4oz (40.8g)

  • A hollowed-out underside and lack of flanges or extensions on top minimizes bulk and weight.


Dual Safety Stops


Ergonomics

  • The P-5's thin profile and generously rounded corners make it easy on the hands; it blends beautifully with the contours of your camera.


Threaded Hole for Non-quick-release Applications

  • For further versatility, the P-5 offers a third hole that is threaded and can be used to attach your camera to a ¼” stud on a tripod head platform without the need for a quick-release clamp.

This is my favorite QR plate. What makes this so nice is the generic fit. I got mine when I purchased my second DSLR and I have been able to use it on all four models I have gotten since. Other QR plates are camera specific, so they tend to depreciate in value along with the model they are designed for and when upgrading camera bodies, you have to buy a new QR plate as well.

In the three or four years I have owned and used this, I only had it loosen up when I manually tightened the screw on the bottom. I've never had a problem with it when using the hex key to attach it.

I've also used this as a back up QR plate attachment for my lenses. It works very well, although I don't recommend using it on lens feet that have the hollow cut out in the center, as it gives the textured surface less to grip to. But, as a backup, this QR plate works well.
