Sachtler Sideload plate M

The Sideload plate M (1164) is Sachtler's camera plate for the Cine 7+7 and Cine 20 fluid heads. The plate has to match the head: the Sideload interface is what the head's own clamp is cut for, and a plate from another Sachtler family will not seat in it.

It measures length 21 cm (8.27 in), width 59 mm (2.32 in), height 8 mm (0.31 in), and weighs 0.18 kg (0.4 lb). Keeping a second one built to a camera is the quickest way to swap bodies on a head without rebalancing from scratch.
