FAQs
What makes the XPand 50 x 50mm Cheese Plate useful on a camera rig?
The Cheese Plate gives you a small, rigid mounting surface for accessories without making the rig feel unnecessarily large. The 50 x 50mm size works well when a cage or compact camera setup needs extra mounting points in a very tight footprint. With 12 1/4"-20 threads and one 3/8"-16 thread, you have useful scope for positioning compatible accessories where they make sense on the rig. It is especially useful when you want a neater build with fewer awkward adapters.
How does the XPAND connection system help when building a rig?
The XPAND system lets you connect several XPAND components using the included connector and screws. Four triple-axis slots, one on each side of the plate, provide multiple directions for joining parts, allowing the setup to grow around the camera in a more controlled way. This makes the plate more than just a flat mounting surface. It becomes part of a modular structure that can be shaped to suit the camera, accessories and shooting style.
What mounting points does the XPand 50 x 50mm Cheese Plate include?
It includes 12 1/4"-20 threads and one 3/8"-16 thread for attaching compatible accessories. The square 50 x 50mm layout gives you a useful spread of mounting points while taking up very little space on the rig. It also has four triple-axis XPAND slots, one on each side, so it can connect neatly with other XPAND components.
