What the thread found

• A dovetail adapter plate designed for Alexa cameras includes integrated Pro-style dovetail and mounts directly to DBox without requiring a separate intermediate plate.
• The plate provides approximately 2 inches of lateral adjustment while mounted to the DBox.
• Two versions are available: a longer version suited for zoom lenses and a shorter version for prime lenses.
• Lateral adjustment capability allows operators to keep the DBox centered, which provides margin for accessories or configuration changes without exhausting side-to-side adjustment range.
• The plate includes threaded holes for alternative mounting applications beyond DBox use.
• A competing all-in-one Alexa plate from Panavision exists that also offers side-to-side adjustment when mounted on DBox, though with an undersized dovetail and reportedly more difficult tie-down.
• Available dimensions are 10.25 inches for the short version and 12.25 inches for the long version.

Depends on

• The discussion does not specify plate thickness.
• Compatibility with Alexa Studio cameras (which lack rod mounts) is mentioned as a question but not answered in the thread.
• The exact amount of side-to-side adjustment capability and whether it accommodates 15mm rods is unclear from the discussion.
• User preferences regarding DBox centering are anecdotal rather than based on systematic testing.
