Description

To use Ultra Plates as a mount for long lenses, 3 Legged Thing has created the Thingy. Made from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, the Thingy attaches to the Ultra Plate, and then fixes to the base of your camera. This creates a secure and stable platform for both lens and camera to attach to your tripod, and prevents any unwanted twisting. Thingy can be positioned to support a variety of lens and camera combinations, where the lens has a lens foot.
