This Tilta Gravity G Series Gimbal Body Mounting Plate with 1/4"-20 Threads protects the bottom pins of the gimbal's body that become exposed once the center Gravity G2/G2X Battery Pistol Grip Handle is removed. The plate slides on and clamps to the bottom of the gimbal, and it incorporates seven 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes, allowing you to mount it on a tripod or other platform.
