7D L-plate availability

Lester Wareham · 5th of October 2009 (Mon)

Anyone have any indication of when Realy Right Stuff expect to ship body only L-plates for the 7D?

I have a pre-order in place but don't want to call to enquire because it is an international call.

You could always try e-mailing them.

I haven't pre-ordered, but am waiting on my grip and will order the L-Plate for the 7D w/Grip.

I spoke with RRS a couple of days ago; they had just gotten a 7D to make the plates. Guesstimate is 4 - 6 weeks. Interesting that they can make the plates without having the grip since I have my camera and am waiting for the grip. I have paid for both and am anxiously waiting.

Here is an answer I got from RRS:

HI Carlos,
That was timing. I went into the engineers office and he had the BGE7 grip in his hand. He was trying to find if we already have a conventional plate in stock that will fit. The BGE2 was close, but not close enough. I am getting off topic.
To answer your question the BGE7-L is 4-6 weeks away. J

Thank you, Casey

A dinner plate with a red ring on the perimeter. Sorry, I had to do it.

I have a "L" plate from a Nikon D100 that was sitting in a drawer that looks like it was made for the Canon 7D. Looks like I just saved $140!!!

my normal quick disconnect plate from my 40D fits perfect on my 7d

I had word my lplate (ungripped) is on the way.

Now I can also look forward to paying the import duty here in the UK, darn taxman.

I just received my RRS B7D-L L-Plate today! A bit surprised since I was told 4-6 weeks. Out of curiosity I emailed to ask how it got here so far ahead of schedule and I was told that "We knew this was going to be a popular plate, so the engineer spent some long nights on this." I really appreciate their craftsmanship and customer service.

My 7D is scheduled to arrive tomorrow, just in time.

It looks like they're starting to mass produce these L-plates. I've been patiently waiting for it, and it just shipped out today
