What is the warranty period for this product?
The 9.Solutions Cheese Plate comes with a 3-year limited warranty.
Can the thumbscrew handles be used for mounting?
Yes, the thumbscrew handles on the rod clamps can be detached and used as 3/8"-16 mounting screws for other devices.
How do I clean the cheese plate?
Clean with a dry or slightly damp microfiber cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals.
What are the center distances for the holes?
The holes with industry-standard center distances are spaced at 1 inch apart.
Troubleshooting
Accessory does not screw in securely.
Ensure you are using the correct thread size (1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16). Check the accessory screw and the cheese plate hole for any debris or damage. Do not force screws; they should thread in smoothly.
Rod clamp is loose.
Make sure the rod clamp is properly seated on a 3/8"-16 threaded host and that the thumbscrew is fully tightened. If the host is worn, consider using a different mounting location or an alternative clamp.
Plate feels wobbly when mounted.
Confirm that all mounting screws are tightened securely. If mounting to a tripod head or other base, ensure that base itself is stable and properly locked.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To set up the 9.Solutions Cheese Plate, identify the desired mounting points based on your equipment. Use appropriate screws (e.g., 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16) to attach accessories to the threaded holes. For rod clamps, slide them onto the desired 3/8"-16 threaded host and tighten the thumbscrews.
