There is a serious issue with the Panasonic Lumix FZ1000, FZ1000 II, FZ-300, FZ-200, FZ-80, FZ-82 and other mirrorless cameras, such as the Fujifilm X-T1, for video production: The tripod mount 1/4 inch x 20 screw thread on the base of the camera is too close to the battery access door. The problem is obvious when you attach a tripod quick release plate to the camera base: you can no longer open the battery access door, which houses the memory card slot as well. Therefore, memory card and battery changes require full disassembly of any camera rig gear. This problem makes using the FZ-1000 undesirable for video production where accessories are typically added to the camera, like a microphone mixer, wireless and wired microphones, audio recorders, cage brackets and other stuff. You will not have a functional tricked out video rig when you can't get fast access to the memory card or battery. Still photography with a tripod is a serious problem with these style cameras as well. When we designed our DSLR Transformer Rig, the battery access had to be unobstructed when the camera was mounted and bling added. The solution is the ALZO Liberator Battery Door Clearance Plate shown here. This simple device attaches to the bottom of the camera with a 1/4 inch x 20 Cap Screw, and then includes 2 tripod mount thread holes. One of the holes is positioned at the lens focal point and the other is farther from the battery access door to allow for usage with very large camera quick releases, like those on PRO video tripods. The bottom of the plate includes removable high tack rubber pads made by 3M. These stick pads prevent rotation of the ALZO Liberator Battery Door Clearance Plate, but do not leave any residue on the base of the camera when removed.
