Universal Steadicam Dovetail Bingo Plate.


Recommended Posts

The Bingo Plate is a universal Steadicam dovetail that works with ALL Steadicam manufacturers (Pro, XCS, Tiffen, Betz, Sachtler) and builds - from the smallest cameras to the largest ones.  Rarely are we given a perfectly balanced camera.  With 14 years of Steadicam experience, I knew that having more flexibility with left and right adjustments was a necessity.  Nothing is more frustrating and time-consuming than having the AC pull apart the build, move motors, transmitters, etc, just so you can balance the rig. Most operators with whom I spoke, including myself, do not like having their top stage fully maxed to either side just to offset the weight up top. No more Jenga Tower builds! Works with all Steadicams. 

Once again, pulling from my knowledge as a Steadicam Operator and countless conversations with other operators and camera assistants, I knew that making the plate modular was important.  Most plates presently on the market are quite limited.  I wanted to give operators as many mounting options as possible so they could build and mount accessories exactly how they wanted.  The Bingo plate allows for multiple configurations using the standard 15mm iris rod bracket and an Arri style single-hole iris round mount.  Please see link below for more pics / technical specs.
