FAQs
What is the primary purpose of the XPand 100mm Riser Block?
Its main purpose is to add 100mm of height and provide multiple mounting points for camera accessories, enhancing flexibility and cable management in a camera rig.
What material is the riser block made from?
It is constructed from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, known for its strength and light weight.
Can I attach any camera accessory to it?
The riser features multiple 1/4"-20 threads, ARRI mounts, and a QD socket, allowing attachment of a wide range of compatible accessories.
How does the XPAND connection system work?
The XPAND system allows for secure linking with other compatible 3 Legged Thing plates and risers, enabling the creation of modular camera rigs.
Is this riser block heavy?
Despite its robust construction, it is made from magnesium alloy, which keeps the weight relatively low for its size and functionality.
Does it come with any mounting screws?
The product information does not specify if mounting screws are included; typically, camera users will utilize existing screws from their baseplates or tripod heads.
How do I clean the riser block?
Gently wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
Troubleshooting
Riser block feels unstable
Ensure all mounting screws are tightened securely to both the camera and the support below. Check for any debris in the threads.
Accessory won't mount securely
Verify that the accessory's mounting thread (e.g., 1/4"-20) is compatible with the riser's mount. Clean the threads on both the accessory and the riser.
XPAND system won't connect
Ensure that the XPAND slots on both components are clean and free of obstruction. Align the components carefully before attempting to connect.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The XPand 100mm Riser Block typically attaches between your camera's baseplate and your tripod head or other support. Use the integrated 1/4"-20 threads or ARRI mounts to secure it to your existing gear. Accessories can then be attached to the riser's numerous mounting points.
Compatibility: This riser is designed to work with standard 1/4"-20 tripod screws and ARRI-style mounts. Its XPAND connection system is proprietary and is most effective when used with other 3 Legged Thing XPAND components.
Care: Clean the riser block with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the magnesium alloy finish. Ensure all threads are free of debris before mounting equipment.
