Summary
Tripod plate for a Plaubel Makina IIIR camera. The whole is a metal “L” shaped plate with a hinged section. There are two captive bolts which fit into the screw mounts on the camera body one on each of the two sections. Likewise there are two large bosses one on each section which contain standard tripod screw mounts. The plate attaches around the base and left side of the camera and so provides tripod mounts for both portrait and landscape format.
