Introducing the LSdigi iPad Pro & Air Cheeseplate System. Designed with ultimate modularity, wide compatibility and weight saving in mind.
The iPad has become a workhorse for professional photo and video productions and is commonly used for monitoring images (Capture Studio iPad app, Hollyland app, or Teradek Vuer app for motion productions), tethering to Capture One mobile app and adjusting lighting using iPad DMX apps such as Blackout & Luminair.
The cheeseplate has the industry standard 3/8-16 and 1/4-20 thread patterns, 100x100 and 75x75 VESA threads and additional Arri Anti-Twist locating holes for ultimate mounting possibilities. The standardised thread patterns and 0.25" plate thickness means it's backward compatible with every accessory made for the Inovativ Digiplate systems.
Future iPad generations will be supported - likely to fit the same 7th Gen / 8th Gen corner brackets for several more iPad Pro updates, and when / if the size is changed - new corner brackets will be released by LSdigi (the plate remains the same).
Designed by Laimonas - the CNC plates are manufactured in the EU, 3D Printed parts in London, threaded inserts for corner clamps are heat-pressed in-house and the Cordura Sun Hoods are expertly crafted by Duncan at GAS Textiles (London).
