what kind of arca style plate can you use with a Leaf AFi? there seem to be a proprietary tripod mounting system, but i need a arca compatible plate! thanks for the grat design of the camera not L-plate is needed...

Almost any 3/8 or 1/4 screw-in based plate will fit the AFi, but if you would like to used the built-in mount, then the
Novoflex Q-Plate (http://www.novoflex.com/english/html/fr_eha5.htm) is the one to look for.

i' guesstimating here, but it looks like the plate is too short for any other than the Novoflex clamps. rrs clamps and similar are longer.
