What the thread found

• Extended camera plates measuring approximately 42 centimeters can be custom-manufactured to fit specific stage models like the Archer2 with the same hole pattern as standard plates.
• Safety pins should be incorporated into extended plate designs to prevent the plate from separating from the stage if the stage lock becomes loose.
• Extended plates designed for medium Steadicam stages can accommodate multiple mounting options including six quarter-inch mounting points, two accessory mounting slots, and M4 points for rod clamps.
• Extended plates manufactured for medium stages are compatible with various medium Tiffen stage models including the Zephyr and come with custom hardware kits for mounting broadcast or cinema camera bottoms.

Depends on

• The original design described was for an Archer2 dwarf top stage and may not be compatible with all stage models.
• Compatibility with other stage models such as Zephyr, Clipper, and Aero was mentioned as a question rather than confirmed fact.
• Manufacturing pricing and availability depend on production volume.
