The Gorilla Plate is used in both of our Gorilla Kits (Striker and Target Shooter) and must be used with the Z-Finder Pro. The Gorilla plate attaches to your camera using the standard tripod screw hole. You can also mount your tripod plate underneath the Gorilla plate so you can quickly go from handheld to tripod use. For mounting the Gorilla plate to the tripod, it has (2) ¼ 20” screw holes and a locking pin hole. The Z-Finder frame attaches to the Gorilla plate using two thumb screws. The frame can be removed by loosening the thumb screws and pulling up on the frame. A Gorilla Plate and Frame is included with the Z-Finder Pro. If you need to mount the Z-Finder on an additional camera, an additional Gorilla Plate and Frame is required. This item must be sold with 1 of the 3 Z-Finder Mounting Frames, sold separately. The Gorilla plate does not work with the DSLR baseplate as it uses its own quick release system.
