The cheese plate is constructed from lightweight yet durable magnesium alloy.
The plate features eighteen 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points.
The two 3/8"-16 threads are anti-twist, providing more secure mounting for larger accessories.
XPAND slots are designed for flexible accessory positioning, allowing them to slide and be locked in place, and for linking multiple plates together.
Yes, you can mount accessories that utilize 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threads, which is common for many tripod heads and accessories.
While durable, its compact 90 x 50mm size is best suited for moderate accessory loads or as part of a larger modular system for heavier setups.
The cheese plate typically includes the plate itself. Separate mounting screws and accessories are usually required.
Ensure you are using the correct thread size (1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16) and that the accessory's mounting screw is fully engaged. For ARRI-style mounts, verify that the locating pins on the accessory align with the plate's mount.
Confirm that the cheese plate itself is securely fastened to the primary support structure. Check that all threads are tight and that no foreign debris is preventing a flush connection.
Ensure the accessory's mounting post or base is compatible with the width of the XPAND slot. Loosen the accessory's locking mechanism slightly to allow for easier sliding and adjustment before re-tightening.
Setup: The XPand cheese plate is designed for straightforward integration. Mount the plate to your camera cage, tripod head, or other support structure using the available 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threads, ensuring a secure fit. Then, attach your desired accessories using compatible screws and mounting hardware that fit the threaded holes or XPAND slots. Use the ARRI-style locator mounts for accessories that feature corresponding locating pins for enhanced stability.
Compatibility: This cheese plate is compatible with any camera, rig, or support system that accepts standard tripod threads (1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16). It is designed to work with a wide range of camera accessories, including lights, microphones, monitors, recorders, batteries, and extension arms. Ensure your accessories have compatible mounting hardware.
Care: To maintain the plate's finish and functionality, clean it regularly with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they can damage the magnesium alloy surface. Store the plate in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Periodically check all mounting screws and connections for tightness, especially after significant use or transport.
