Review: Sturdy and lots of mounting points. - Used this in my rig build for filming on my Fujifilm XM5 and it works great. The construction feels solid and well made, and it adds a lot of flexibility with all the mounting options. Everything stays stable and secure, which is exactly what you want in a rig. Definitely a reliable piece of gear.
Review: Multi-Purpose - I use this between a Velbon QR plate and my Tascam DR70D and Camera so I could extend the placement of the Rode SVMX microphone in front and below the camera, screwing the mic directly into one of the slots with a long 1/4" screw sold separately in the SmallRig 12 pack, which also gives you another allen wrench (good to have a spare to keep packed at all times to tighten up the rig before a day of shooting). This was a much cheaper and lighter weight alternative than getting a rail system because the 10 slots are located well to position any gear going on top, not to mention I got tired of the Rode loosening and almost falling out of the cold shoe on multiple occasions, it's always better to screw them fast when you can and now it's isolated for wind vibrations too. I understand this is completely different use than what the plate was designed, but if it works, it works! Very sturdy and plenty of 1/4" and 3/8" holes and allen wrench provided. The paint scratches very easily so be careful.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Multi-Purpose

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Mount a Zoom recorder on it why not
*by M***T on March 28, 2025*

Smallrig is definitely my favorite accessory company. I use this to attach to the side of my BMPCC4K cage on the right side so that I can attach a Zoom recorder. Having extra hands is something I'm not always afforded, so being able to attach many things on this cheese plate, even if it's not what it was intended for, is a godsend. Nice and sturdy, fits most of the standard layouts for smallrig rig stuff, and a nice cheap solution.
