The Steadicam Pilot plate is designed to attach to the camera and cage using only a single screw, not multiple fasteners.
When mounting holes on the cage do not align with the Pilot plate, one working hole is sufficient because the plate can be prevented from rotating using tape loops or adhesive-backed Velcro between the plate and cage.
The Pilot plate requires the narrow-head screw that comes with it; standard screws may not fit due to space constraints around the mounting area.

This solution applies specifically to the Steadicam Pilot with an Ikan Tilta cage and a Black Magic Cinema Camera.
The workaround relies on single-point fastening plus mechanical friction, which may have stability or durability limits not discussed in the thread.
No images were provided to verify the specific mounting geometry or confirm whether the suggested solution was successfully implemented.
