Sachtler Sideload Plate HD

The Sideload Plate HD (3060) is Sachtler's camera plate for the Cine 30 and Cine 50 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 30.5 cm (12.01 in), width 96 mm (3.78 in), height 9 mm (0.35 in), and weighs 0.5 kg (1.1 lb). Keeping a second one built to a camera is the quickest way to swap bodies on a head without rebalancing from scratch.
