The Cheese Plate Pod is the perfect tool for photographers and videographers on the go. The simple flat threaded plate allows you to mount a Ball Head directly to the plate so that it can be used like a traditional tripod, just with a much smaller footprint. The Cheese Plate Pod has (21) ¼”-20 Threaded Holes, (9) 3/8”-16 Threaded Holes and 4 Through Holes. This gives you the ability to mount the camera in multiple different positions as well as the ability to mount the Plate in a variety of different ways. This is ideal for larger equipment, like DSLR and video cameras with long telephoto or the heavy macro lens. The Kit includes two sets of hardware: 3-inch Steel screws with Wingnuts that can be used to level the Cheese Plate Pod on uneven ground, or it can be used to fasten the Cheese Plate Pod directly to any surface using the included hardware. 1.5 Steel Screws w/ Anti-Skid Rubber Pads The versatile design enables the Cheese Plate Pod to perform double duty and can also be used in with the Scorpion EX handheld camera grip.
