Step 3: Removing the Leica Q3 L-Plate

> **Please note:** The Leica Q3 L-Plate includes a custom-made 1/4"-20 captive-style mounting screw. Unlike most of our camera plates, this screw is not connected to the base of the plate and can be easily misplaced when detaching the plate from the camera. To prevent misplacing, we recommend storing your custom 1/4"-20 in the accessory screw mount when the plate is not in use.

Step 4: You're all set to start using your RRS Leica Q3 L-Plate!
