The Wooden Camera Top Plate for Canon C400 is specifically designed for the Canon EOS C400 camera. Its purpose is to provide additional mounting options and the ability to attach accessories. The plate is symmetrical, allowing for upside-down installation on either side of the camera top.
The plate features several 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, providing multiple mounting points. Additionally, there are multiple 3/8"-16 threads on the front of the plate, enabling the attachment of front-mounted accessories like bolt-on rods and rod clamps. Users can also install the optional NATO side rail for the C400 using this plate.
It's important to note that if the operator wishes to use the tape hook while the top plate is installed, they will need to remove the film plane tape hook and install it on the top plate for proper functionality.
