Leica Q3 GRP_BASEplate _ 001 Titanium

The baseplates are guaranteed for a lifetime of normal use with reasonable wear and patina. If there's a mistake or you have an issue with our product, I'll take care of it. Email support@ags.supply.

Most Analogous products are made of brass, a material with memory that naturally changes color with age. It retains signs of handling and use caused by the oils on your skin, as well as other contaminants. For this reason, raw brass baseplates are treated with a dry oil to prevent the patina from starting prematurely, but they will still age over time. Brass is also a relatively soft metal that will show subtle scratches and wear with use.

Returned baseplates that have been previously handled or mounted to a camera will likely not be able to be resold as new. For this reason, please be kind in considering a return.

Good-faith returns are accepted on a case-by-case basis.

Return shipping is your responsibility, but a return label can be provided upon request. Email support@ags.supply for returns or questions.

You'll receive shipping confirmation and tracking info once your order ships.

It's a small studio, and can't guarantee same-day shipping of orders (though most orders before 3pm do go out the same day). But the aim is to get orders out as quickly as possible, within one business day or less in most cases.

In the event that an item is out of stock know that more are being produced as quickly as possible.

The aim is to keep production slightly ahead of orders. But these are not mass produced objects. This is generally a one-person operation, so spikes in orders can quickly outpace supply. This isn't some artificial scarcity, the goal is to produce enough to match demand without creating excess.

I no longer take back orders on products.

Contact support@ags.supply with any questions about product details or product availability.

For U.S. domestic addresses, there are a few shipping options.

Screw Dot covers can be shipped via USPS Ground Advantage, and is typically $4.60 or less. Baseplates only ship via Fedex or UPS due to the higher value and more predictable shipping and tracking.

Additional shipping options are available and calculated at checkout.

For now we are only selling to a limited number of countries internationally. International orders will be handled via UPS or USPS. All shipping options and rates are calculated at checkout.

At this time, we are not collecting VAT or other international taxes at checkout.

VAT or other import duties may be due on delivery. 

These are small run, quality products, that are made to last, while minimizing excess consumption and waste. For this reason, Analogous intentionally doesn't offer general discounts or sales.

Occasionally free shipping is offerd as a short term promotion, typically at the launch of a new product for early customers.

Also, blemished goods or seconds or used baseplates will be made available at a discounted rate. Reachout for more info on used or blemished product.

The black finish is now available for the Q2! In a similar fashion, a black version of the Q3 Baseplate will be available.

There have been a few iterations of the black finish. Originally it was a hot black oxide treatment that converts the outer layer of brass to rich black. Moving forward all black baseplates will be finished in with a ceramic based black coating with white painted engravings. It's a durable finish That with time will slowly reveal the underlying brass.

This is great question! On occasion a custom spec versions are produced. One of the first was a bronze version made for a dear friend. It's a slightly modified version of our baseplate, machined in bronze and custom-engraved. Other modifications or finishes have been produced for customers in the past.

Because every baseplate is designed and made in-house, it's possible to make custom items and one-offs, but need to be fit in around standard production.

If you have a special request, let's talk. Pricing will depend on your specific request, including material.

There has been a flattering amount of questions regarding other cameras and other camera brands.

It's a larger topic, but for now, the focus is on newer Leica digital cameras. The Q3 baseplate has launched, with a grip version to follow, then something for the M11, then most likely the SL3.

One person makes everything you see here, and there's only so much I can produce at one time. I also make what I personally use. Never say never, but other brands/cameras are low on the list at the moment. If you have a very burning desire for a specific camera and no other product will do, hit me up. Let's chat about it.
