Updated 12-inch Steadicam plate with dual iris rod mounting points
14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A 12-inch Steadicam plate was redesigned to include iris rod holes on both front and back surfaces, enabling accessories like transmitters and mounting plates to attach to the rear
- Mounting accessories to rear-facing rods distributes weight more evenly across the front and back of the plate rather than stacking components vertically
- The plate design is practical for small box-type cameras where wireless transmitters or receivers can be positioned at the rear on live television productions
Depends on
- The design is described as particularly suited to small box-type cameras; applicability to other camera formats is not discussed
- Real-world usage feedback beyond the stated use cases is not provided
