The plate offers 3.9" of sliding range to balance your rig.

To survive fast-paced shooting environments, the CXV8 is die-cast from a lightweight, yet durable metal alloy with composite polymers and precision ball bearings for smooth mechanical operation. Even in harsh conditions, the CXV8 will perform reliably. The base of the CXV8 is a 75mm ball for mounting to compatible tripods and grip equipment. An illuminated bubble level makes it easy to level the CXV8 in dark environments. A fixed-length pan handle is included, and a second rosette is available for attaching an optional second pan handle.
