- Available plate weights range from two pounds to fifteen pounds, with rod lengths of seven, eight-point-five, and nine-point-five inches.
- Two plates combined with four rods create a complete weight cage system, with pricing around three hundred eighty-five dollars for this configuration.
- A single plate can be purchased separately for approximately two hundred ten dollars.
- Lightweight camera setups using small plates and professional mounting brackets can achieve total weights around twenty pounds.
