Camera plate
The XCS camera plate design is unique in a multitude of ways. Unlike other plates it will not flex.
One plate design fits all current camera designs. You have three 15 mm rod holes in the front of the plate
for motors.
Over 5.0” of Fore & Aft travel for balance. A dovetail at the rear of the plate for our transmitter
bracket keeps your video transmitter at the highest point. There two additional dovetails on the lower
electronics housing for the transmitter bracket when working in low mode. Two .375 x 16 TPI tapped
holes for the camera screws.
The left-right sliding camera plate is the most flexible camera plate ever designed . You used to
have a specific screw hole that you placed the camera screw into. With slots you have greater flexibility in
placing the camera plate on the cameras center of balance. Add the flexibility of the sliding plate, you will
never again has to worry about finding a center balance. You will find ENG video cameras, Sony P5,55,
Arri SR’s, and Aaton are all down the center of the plate. Alexa, F65 Panavision, Arri, and Moviecam are
all camera right side heavy, so the camera plate when screwed into the base will be off towards the
camera right side a bit, 3/16
th
’s to .25” would be average. In the beginning of ownership getting used to
finding the camera plate placement is no different than when you had to learn the method of which screw
hole to use. With the addition of the sliding camera plate i
t doesn’t have to be perfect, you have more left
to right adjustment then any sled system. You also as you have your fine balance adjustments at the
bottom of the Lower Electronics Housing (LEH).
