Thanks Bill!
Have you any experience with this ProMaster brackets, or someone that has recommended them first hand (not anonymous internet reviewers :) )? It looks identical to the RRS, but I worry about the exact fit.

Thanks A LOT for your first-hand experience.
I was already leaning towards the custom one.......I had just some hope that the universal one could be "good enough" saving a lot of money.

I will see what others can add to the topic, but sadly it looks like I will have to bite the bullet and go for the custom ones

Thanks!
They do have one for D7200, one more consider.

After quick review:
Pros:
- Has an extending feature to allow better access to side ports when needed

Cons:
- Expensive, around or even more than RRS and Kirk
- Looks bulkier

Maybe there is another UHH user that has experience with this one and the D7200

Thanks Bill!
Sadly I haven't find any knock off custom ones for D7200. It´s either an expensive (RRS/Kirk) custom one, or a universal one :-\
That was one of the reasons I was looking for first hand experience of users with D7200 and either of the existing options.

For example the universal one from 3LT has very good reviews, but from the pictures I saw with the D7200 it looks like it is not that practical (must leave significant separation on left side) and probably that would make it easier to twist respective to the camera.

Hi all, first of all I apologize if this is not the right place to post this topic, just be nice I am new

I have a D7200 and would like to get a L-plate for landscapes and panoramas.

I am not able to try them, as they are not available where I live (and if they would exist, they would be at least double the price). So that's why I am looking for UHHs that own a D7200 and any of the L-plates available.

Based on my review there are three categories:
- Custom made ones, where RRS and Kirk would be the contenders, but that means around USD 120 + shipping
- Known brand universal one, where I guess the best option looks like being from Three Legged Things at around USD 50
- Cheep universal generic brand ones, where there is a wider range of prices but will probably average at around USD 50

From past experience with buying universal models and/or generic brands (not for L-plates but for other accessories) sometimes is a great option and sometimes is a very bad one.

So, how has been your experience with the one you have?
I am interested in fit, usability, constructions, how practical/impractical has resulted, etc.

Thanks!

I was on similar situation some months ago. I had a D5200 and had the opportunity to travel and buy a newer camera. Without intention of spending much, my choices (based on my needs) were D7200 and D7500.
I finally went with the D7200 as the price difference didn't justify the specs difference for my use, but it ends up being just a personal decision.

The biggest difference for me was the flip screen I would be losing from the D5200, but the tilt screen of the D7500 isn't the same. In any case, for the cases where I do need that, I can control the camera from my phone.
Until now I haven't missed the screen enough to regret the purchase.
I love my D7200, but I guess that I would equally love the D7500. And I would guess that the same would happen to you, either model will be excellent.

I loved your pictures. I find the first one incredible, how you transmit the "jump" of the edge.

Hi, I am very noob, but I used to have a D5200 with grip (knock-off one as there are no Nikon ones) and lately I upgraded to D7200. I almost buy the original grip, but ended buying a knock-off (but with good reviews).
In both cases I am very happy with the grips, more with the D7200 one as it works 100% (without needing extra cable for shutter).

I only use them is some cases, usually on family social events (birthdays, etc.) for these reasons:
- In this case I usually use an external flash mounted on the hot shoe, and I feel the balance of the body is more comfortable with the grip
- Usually have the camera with no strap (as I place it over a table when not using it) and gives me more grip
- Usually take lots of pictures and the camera bag is usually far away (although I was never even near to empty a single battery)

Not a necessity, but for the price of the cheap ones, they suit my use case very well.

Just my opinion based exclusively on my limited experience

Thanks jdubu for your reply. Good to hear good feedback of the new devices, I will consider them :)
I was asking about the WD001 as is the one I have already (although still haven't located it after a move), and the new ones are not easily (even less cheaply) available where I live.

I am also seeing options using a Raspberry Pi, mainly aiming to have more control/verification that the backups are done 100% and with no errors. I have trust issues with these devices that you press a single button and all the transfer is transparent to the user.

Thanks again an please come back with more feedback once you come back from your trip. Enjoy it!

Hi sroc, sorry to throw all these questions but I am very interested in this specific solution (can get a WD01 easily)
Do you use the RavPower app for the file transfer? or a third party one?
The phone must stay connected and with the screen unlocked?
What is the performance? How long aprox takes to transfer some Gb (16, 32, 64)?

Thanks!
