Gear Closet | Inovativ DigiPlate Lite

Overview
This one little piece of gear is a lifesaver! Originally I thought it was way overpriced

Shooting in the studio I always captured tethered, but now it makes working on location far easier tethered, especially when there’s no budget for a tech. This allows me to be more critical of what I’m capturing, resulting in better images and happier clients!

(You don’t need it to attach to a tripod – the workstation has the standard 3/8 threads to mount it how you would like)
Additionally, I purchased the
One item I wish I picked up was the Lacie Drive Mount to keep time machine backup running while shooting tethered. The next purchase I get will be this item to complete my digitech station.

Pros
- Keeps the computer
secure on a light stand, tripod, super clamp with a spud - Simple design
- Super easy to build
- Fits in my Casecruzer digital tech case with Tekpak like a glove to create a great workstation

Bottom Line
I wish I bought this one piece of gear sooner, especially with all the rugged locations I end up working in. It’s a big weight
