Arca-Swiss Bridge Plate for Nikon Z Series and FTZ Adapter

The D063 is a precision-engineered mounting solution designed to create a solid bridge between Nikon Z series cameras and the Nikon FTZ adapter. By connecting to both the camera and the adapter simultaneously with dual mounting screws, this plate significantly reduces stress on the lens mount when utilizing heavier non-Z series lenses.

Quick Overview & Key Features

• Dual-Point Connection: Secures to both the camera body and the FTZ adapter with individual screws to eliminate flex and relieve stress on the lens mount.
• Integrated Arca-Swiss Dovetail: The bottom of the plate features a native Arca-type connection, allowing the entire camera/adapter combo to slide directly into any Arca-Swiss compatible clamp.
• Universal Mounting Flexibility: Equipped with three 1/4-20 tapped holes on the base, allowing for the attachment of non-Arca plates (such as Manfrotto) or other accessories.
• Solved Manfrotto Compatibility: Creates a perfectly even surface that allows Manfrotto-style plates to be mounted securely, which was previously difficult when using the FTZ adapter.
• Multi-System Support: Compatible with any third-party plate system that utilizes a two-screw mounting configuration.
• Premium Construction: Precision CNC-machined from solid 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum with a durable black hard-coat anodized finish.
• Made in the USA: Manufactured to professional tolerances for unyielding reliability.

Advanced Structural Support & Mounting Versatility

The D063 Bridge Plate is an essential upgrade for Nikon Z-series shooters transitioning from F-mount glass. Standard plates often fail to account for the height difference or the potential for twist between the camera body and the FTZ adapter. This plate creates a rigid, unified foundation that protects your equipment while improving balance on tripods, ball heads, and gimbals.

Professional Integration: One of the most significant advantages of the D063 is its ability to bridge the gap between Arca-Swiss and proprietary systems like Manfrotto. Because the plate provides a flat, continuous surface across the camera and adapter, shooters can now easily mount Manfrotto plates. This allows the Nikon Z system to be integrated into any workflow where Manfrotto heads are already in use, without sacrificing the ability to use Arca-type clamps when needed.
