What model of Alexa plate is the best?

The alexa bracket from www.cam-jam.de works with the Alexa and Sony style ENG cameras. No need to buy additional parts like V-lock plate.

Also it is designed to work with your existing dovetail plate. So you won´t get problems with different tolerances from different manufacturers.

I have the cam-tec plate which has a sony eng type interface and integrates a dovetail into the plate so it attached directly to the top stage minimising weight and height. I also got one of the cam-tec wedge adapters in case the camera doesn't come with it's own ;) Absolutely perfect for quick swaps on and off as everything remains in place so no need to rebalance. It's a well made, solid plate and am very happy with it, it is one of the more expensive options though ;)

 

Here's the one for the narrow Tiffen dovetails (like my Clipper):

And the one for standard larger dovetails:

Best option IMO. And get yourself a BPA-1 to go with it. It's a really long universal plate for other cameras and a solid mount for the Alexa too. Low profile and rigid.
