Hi,
Just was preparing some stuff for my upcoming trip and I read something and roughly quickly double checked it on my D4 and Cube. (I don't have any good measurement tools here so I can only check it roughly, perhaps somebody can do it more closely.
As far as I can tell the "small" arca plate (Which takes the 3mRd and so) is centered perfectly. The normal Arca Swiss mount, which takes any L bracket or Arca swiss type Rail is DECENTERED.
This is perhaps a important note as for making panoramic with the nodal point, one has to use the bottom Panoramic plate, which again is stupid as it has no ° numbers or anything.
Can someone just double check these facts, or if somebody knows confirm or denies them? I'm going a little crazy here with all the tiny measurements.
Thanks
Chris
