The SoloPlate is engineered to solve a problem every Leica M shooter knows but no one talks about, front heavy setups that tip forward the moment you set the camera down. With modern glass and heavier lenses, stability becomes a real limitation. The SoloPlate eliminates that.

At its core, this is a precision machined base plate designed specifically for the Leica M11 & MEV1 platform. It integrates seamlessly with the bottom of the camera, maintaining the original form while adding real functionality where it matters.

The ultra thin Arca Profile is built directly into the plate, allowing instant tripod compatibility without adding bulk. No extra plates, no stacking, no compromise. Mount and go.

Installation is simple and secure using the included 1/4 inch screw. To make this even more practical in the field, every SoloPlate includes the Owlkrown EDC Keychain Tool. A compact flathead and hex solution designed to live with you, so adjustments are always within reach.

The defining feature is the integrated sliding kickstand. Engineered with precise tolerances, it deploys smoothly when needed and locks into position to support your camera upright. When not in use, it disappears cleanly into the plate, maintaining a minimal footprint.

This allows your Leica to stand vertically with mounted lenses that would normally force it to fall forward. Whether you are shooting, swapping lenses, or setting your camera down between frames, the SoloPlate adds a level of control and confidence that changes how you handle your gear.

Available in Aged Brass, Black Patina, and Black Chrome Aluminum.

Each finish is selected with purpose, not just for looks but for how it performs and evolves with your camera.

The brass options, Aged Brass and Black Patina, bring added weight and a more planted feel when shooting with heavier lenses. Over time, they develop natural wear that enhances their character, matching the timeless nature of the Leica M system.

The Black Chrome Aluminum version is designed for a lighter, more agile setup. It maintains strength and precision while reducing overall carry weight, making it ideal for everyday shooting without compromise.

  • Brass Version: 110 grams

  • Aluminum Version: 46 grams

Benefits at a glance:

  • Keeps your Leica M upright with heavier lenses, no more front tipping
  • Built in Arca Swiss profile for direct tripod mounting
  • Sliding kickstand, deploys instantly, disappears when not needed
  • Maintains the original camera form, no added bulk or awkward shapes

The SoloPlate is not an accessory, it is an extension of the camera. It lets your Leica rest the way it always should have, stable, upright, ready.

Note:

The SoloPlate has been tested with a wide range of lenses. Extremely large and heavy lenses such as the Leica Noctilux 50mm f/0.95 ASPH represent the upper limit of stability depending on surface and setup. For best performance, use on flat and stable surfaces.

Designed and manufactured in Miami.
