Pure-Python port of BOSL2’s tripod_mounts.scad: a ManfrottoRC2Plate — the standard Manfrotto RC2 quick-release tripod mount plate.

class pybosl2.parts.tripod_mounts.ManfrottoRC2Plate(chamfer='all', anchor=Anchor.CENTER, spin=0.0, orient=Anchor.TOP, fn=None, fa=None, fs=None)[source]

Bases: object

A Manfrotto RC2 tripod quick release mount plate.

The chamfer argument controls edge chamfering: "all" (default), "bot" or "bottom" for bottom-only, or "none".
