ALL the “Sony-style” Tripod plates suck, except for the Chrosziel; once you use it, you’ll wonder how lived without it.

Sony plate with Panasonic cameras has more play in it than the SCAM 700 sorry I meant to say SHAN 700.
Best method is a filmstyle sliding dove tail plate system.

Easy fix to get rid of play in Panasonic plate is to add 2 washers 1 or 2mm thick. They would go on the 2 philips screws underneath grey plastic piece in the back of the plate. This improves stability a lot. It may be acceptable then or just go ahead and buy Chrosziel plate that pulls down and locks camera.
