X-T4 slips on tripod using vertical orientation

[deva]

I have a SIRUI travel tripod. When I set up my X-T4 for a vertical shot, even with a small lens, it slips. The rubber on the quick release plate (part# TY-50e) is not very grippy. If I use the X-T4 battery grip, it has some grabby surface but the X-T4 is slippery on the bottom.

I'm looking for any suggestions on how to make it hold better on the tripod when using just the X-T4. Thanks!

If it is an Arca Swiss quick release plate you could see if another brand gives a better grip or you could get a L-bracket which usually has a larger surface to secure a good grip.

Ritagliare una parte in gomma su misura che aderisca alla testa del cavalletto e al fondo della camera, si creerebbe un grip ottimale antiscivolo.

Get yourself an "L" Bracket.  This one cost me under 30 bucks on eBay brand new. I also have it on my GFX camera body as well. This tightens up on the tripod,  no bottom plate needed on the camera, no rubber wearing down.  and you can just swap it vertically and horizontally w/o losing your composition.
