The Top Plate features numerous 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded accessory mounting holes along the sides and the top of the plate. The mounting holes feature ARRI anti-twist divots, so you can use ARRI anti-twist compatible accessories, or standard 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threaded accessories. In addition to the accessory mounting holes, the plate also has mounting holes for the clamp that secure the LCD viewfinder monitor cable, and also a tapped hole for you to attach the sensor plane pin.

Q: 1. Does this top handle have a hot shoe connector at it's base? If so, how does it work if the XLR1 adapter is connected to the camera's hot shoe?

A: Hello Jon, Thank you for your question! This top handle was designed so it can be attached at the top front of cages when audio units are also used. It leaves enough space to attach an audio unit on top of cages. This handle does not have a hotshoe connector.
