The way the cage is designed the cage is off center when connected directly to the monitor mount, witch annoys me. The cage has a Nato rail, so the clamp holds it centered. Now I'm happy. It has one job and it does it well. The construction is solid and stable. There are no Arri locating holes but with the rubber pad and 1 Arri pin on the mount I don't think it with twist at all. Review: Perfect for powering my gimbal - I use the SmallRig Mini V-Mount Battery Plate with the SmallRig Nato clamp and V-Mount battery to power my gimbal, and it works flawlessly. The build feels solid, the connection is secure, and it makes running my setup all day so much easier. Everything SmallRig makes is high-quality, and this plate is no exception. ## Features - 【Standard NATO Clamp】SMALLRIG Quick Release NATO Clamp 1973 is a NATO standard clamp designed to attach a variety of accessories, such as cold shoe, articulating arm, monitor support ball head and so on.
