What the thread found

• The ARRI ALEXA Mini mounts directly to a standard Steadicam® plate.
• The ARRI ALEXA Mini LF requires an ARRI SAM-2 adapter; the SAM-2 kit is also useful when working with the original Mini.
• The ARRI ALEXA 35 can mount with either the ARRI SAM-7 plate or an Apex Cinema Gear A35 plate.
• Third-party manufacturers offer a flat Steadicam® LF plate; the same vendor also produces an ALEXA 35 variant.
• The ARRI SAM-7 plate is longer and more rigid than the Apex A35 plate and is favored by operators; the Apex plate serves well as a backup or second rig option.
