A cheese plate is an aluminum plate with 3/8" holes drilled out to hold different grip items. These holes can be threaded, countersunk, or just bare.
Uses
A hostess tray utilizes cheese plates as part of its method for rigging onto the side door of a car.
Some plates have Mitchell mounts on them already for mounting a tripod head.
Cheese plates are generally used to rig a camera into a hard to reach space, but can also be used for rigging any sort of lighting or camera device as well.
