The cheese plate features numerous 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 through-holes, as well as M3 threaded through-holes for mounting a variety of accessories, including the CAMVATE V-Mount Power Splitter plate. The cheese plate is heavily relieved of metal to increase its rigidity and reduce weight.

The included 15mm LWS rod clamp features spring-loaded locking levers and a swivel mechanism that allows you to orient the cheese plate. The clamp features four mounting slots that allow you to adjust the position of the plate and mounting screws. The swivel also features a spring-loaded locking lever that allows you to set the angle of the cheese plate in relation to the clamp.
