Secure, Versatile Mounting for Your Preston Single Channel Unit
On a fast-paced professional film set, the last thing you need is gear that twists, slips, or fails. The Preston Single Channel Iris Plate by Upgrade Innovations is the definitive mounting solution engineered to provide a rock-solid, non-twist foundation for your Preston Single Channel Iris, Focus, or Zoom unit. Say goodbye to makeshift rigs and unreliable connections; this plate is purpose-built to integrate seamlessly into your workflow, ensuring your equipment stays exactly where you need it, take after take.
Crafted for the demanding camera professional, this plate offers unparalleled versatility. It’s outfitted with a host of industry-standard mounting options, including ARRI 3/8″ Pin-Lock, SmallHD 1/4″ Pin-Lock, and multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 tapped holes. This extensive compatibility means you can confidently attach your Preston unit to nearly any camera cage, monitor bracket, or support system without hesitation. For an even more secure setup, you can mount a male Cinelock directly to the plate using the provided screws and adapters, creating an unshakeable, quick-release connection.
Expand your rigging possibilities by pairing this plate with our ecosystem of accessories. Combine it with the Rudy Arm articulating arm to achieve complex, multi-axis positioning, or mount multiple Preston units to a single anchor point for a streamlined camera build. For ultimate control, consider the optional bundle with the SmallHD 1/4 Pin-Lock 15mm Spud. This spud features customizable O-rings, allowing you to fine-tune the fit in any 15mm clamp from a free slip to a friction-fit or a completely captive lock. Constructed from a single block of anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, the Preston Single Channel Iris Plate isn’t just an accessory—it’s an investment in reliability, efficiency, and peace of mind on set.
