Beware of generic brackets/plates with the Z30 and Z50. Many will block the battery access or not really match up to the very thin bodies. Also, note that many brackets/plates may interfere with the tilting LCD on the Z50, particularly in the "selfie" mode.
The following plates and brackets are tailored specifically for the Z30:
- SmallRig baseplate 3857 — Simple and inexpensive plate
- SmallRig Cage 3858 — A full cage with bottom plate
- Leofoto LPN-Z30 — An L-bracket for the Z30 that allows the monitor to swivel correctly.
The following plates and brackets are tailored specifically for the Z50:
- Smallrig Cage CCN2499 — primarily used by video shooters to mount accessories
- Smallrig Vlogging Plate LCN2525 — has a cold shoe attachment point, and extends the body a bit w/o blocking flipped LCD
