The SmallRig 4702 Rotatable Horizontal-to-Vertical Mount Plate Kit is designed for content creators and videographers using Panasonic LUMIX S5 II, S5 IIX, or G9 II cameras who need to switch between orientations quickly without re-centering their shot. By allowing a seamless 90-degree rotation, it keeps the lens optical axis aligned while maintaining full access to camera ports and the flip-out screen. One important caveat is that you must remove your lens before installing or removing the mounting plate, and it is not intended for use with lenses that feature their own tripod support collar.

This mount is not recommended for lenses that feature their own built-in tripod support collar.
The kit includes a magnetic dual-head wrench that attaches to the baseplate, making installation and adjustments tool-free.
Yes, the integrated quick-release plate is designed to work with both Arca-type and Manfrotto RC2 mounting systems.
No, the design is specifically engineered to maintain full access to the LCD flip screen and all essential camera ports.
No, it is designed to rotate around the lens optical axis, which keeps your subject centered when switching between orientations.
Check the silicone padding for debris and ensure the locking knob is fully tightened in the desired position.
Verify that the lens has been removed, as the lens protrusion may prevent proper seating of the camera base.
Ensure the camera is mounted correctly; if a specific lens is wider than average, you may need to adjust the placement slightly or check for alternative lens compatibility.
To install the mount, first ensure the camera lens is removed from the body. Secure the plate to the bottom of the camera using the provided hardware and the integrated magnetic dual-head wrench. Once attached, you can mount the assembly directly onto your Arca or Manfrotto RC2 tripod head.
For care, periodically check the locking knob to ensure it is tight before shooting. The silicone pads should be wiped clean with a microfiber cloth if dust or debris accumulates to ensure the camera remains firmly in place. Always verify that your specific lens does not have a tripod collar, as those lenses will interfere with the rotation mechanism. Be mindful that on specific LUMIX or LEICA DG lenses, certain physical buttons like the AF/MF switch or Power O.I.S. might be slightly harder to reach depending on the lens diameter.
