How are you planning on fitting the arm, do you have any images or CAD yet?
I'm interested in buying an EX1 plate, but if you're upgrading I'll wait for the new kit.

Cheers, Duncan.

I am completely out of the EX1 base plates so if you order now you will get the new one (And at the $99 price) when they are available. Once the arms are added to the site you can place an order for one and I can ship them together.

I attached a drawing of what it looks like with the arm mounted. The arms are 2" wide and has a bend in it that goes up the side of the camera about 4". It has multiple holes for mounting accessories. The new base plates will have an area machined out so the arm sits flush with the base. And the four screws used to mount it will be countersunk so it will not interfere with your tripod mount. And of course the base plate will work just fine without the arm mounted. I'm sure there will still be allot of people that don't need the arms. This new arm option is just an added bonus for the people that need it.

I've placed an order, looking forward to receiving it sometime soon. Duncan.

I have the new EX1 base plates in stock now and the new accessory arms. Here are a couple of pictures. I am still waiting for the hot shoes to come in that I am going to include with the accessory arm. I am out of town until the 22nd so hopefully they will come in by then and I can start shipping them. Some of the pre-orders that didn't want the accessory arm shipped today.

I am working on a secondary accessory arm that will work with this one also for more mounting options. And my next run of EX1R base plates will have the accessory arm mount just like the EX1.

I'm interested in one of the baseplates for the EX1r with the accessory bracket.

Will it fit on the EX3?

Further up the thread Curtis indicated he would not be making one for the EX3 since there were others already available.

Due to the different curve of the bottom of the camera the EX1 plate won't fit the EX3.

Maybe if there is enough demand he will change his mind.
