The plate is constructed from durable and lightweight magnesium alloy.
It features thirty-six 1/4"-20 threaded mounting points.
XPAND slots are unique mounting points that allow accessories to be attached and adjusted on multiple axes, offering greater flexibility in positioning.
Yes, the plate includes ARRI locator mounts which are designed to interface with accessories that use ARRI-style locating pins, preventing rotation.
It is best suited for compact or medium-sized setups due to its 70x70mm dimensions. For very large or complex rigs, multiple plates might be needed or a larger mounting solution could be considered.
The XPAND slots are designed to accept standard M5 screws.
Ensure the accessory's thread is fully engaged and tightened securely into the plate. If using XPAND slots, ensure the M5 screw is tight and seated correctly.
Check the mounting surface of your rig for any debris or imperfections. Ensure the cheese plate is seated flush and all mounting screws are evenly tightened.
Verify you are using an M5 screw or compatible accessory. Ensure the slot is clear of any debris and that the accessory is aligned correctly with the slot's triple-axis orientation.
Setup: The XPand 70x70mm Cheese Plate is designed for direct attachment to camera cages, tripod heads, or other mounting hardware using its 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threads. Accessories can then be screwed directly into the threaded holes or attached using screws that fit into the XPAND slots. Ensure all connections are securely tightened to prevent movement.
Compatibility: This plate is compatible with any camera rig, cage, or support system that offers standard 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 mounting points. Accessories with corresponding threads or those designed to interface with ARRI-style locator mounts will work seamlessly. The XPAND slots accept standard M5 screws and offer flexibility for custom mounting solutions.
Care: To maintain the plate's condition, clean it with a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn marks, use a slightly damp cloth and ensure the plate is completely dry afterward. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these can damage the magnesium alloy finish.
