FAQs
Does this plate work with the DJI RS 3?
No, this plate is specifically designed for the RS 5, RS 4 Pro, and RS 4.
Can I use this with a camera cage?
Yes, as long as the cage has a flat bottom and the adjustable guide can be positioned to brace against a straight edge of the cage.
What is the purpose of the 2mm reduction in height?
The lower profile allows for better balance with tall camera bodies or setups that require a lower center of gravity.
Is the placement guide removable?
The guide is integrated to provide structural stability and is designed to remain with the plate for its anti-twist function.
Will this plate accommodate 3/8-inch mounting holes?
No, this plate is designed exclusively for the standard 1/4-inch screw mount found on most mirrorless and DSLR cameras.
Troubleshooting
Camera still twists slightly when mounted.
Loosen the adjustable placement guide, push it firmly against the side of the camera, and retighten the guide lock securely.
Cannot slide the plate into the gimbal base.
Ensure the placement guide is not protruding past the edge of the plate and that the plate is properly aligned with the gimbal's quick-release slot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your plate, first attach the plate to the bottom of your camera using the 1/4-inch screw, ensuring the adjustable guide is loosened. Position the guide flush against the side of the camera base to prevent twisting, then tighten the guide lock. Once secured, slide the plate onto the gimbal's mounting base.
Compatibility: This plate is officially compatible with the DJI RS 5, RS 4 Pro, and RS 4.
Care Instructions: Keep the mounting surface free of debris and sand to ensure a flush fit. Periodically check the 1/4-inch screw for tightness, and avoid using chemical solvents; a soft, dry cloth is sufficient for cleaning the aluminum finish.
