Pigeon Plate

Mounting plate for lighting gear.

Pigeon plates are used for mounting lighting gear.

They are useful if you need:

  • A light source low to ground
  • A light source in a tight space that a stand wouldn't fit 

There are 3 Pigeon plates stored on top of the apple box cart outside Studio D.

The pigeon plates have a baby pin (same as a baby stand).

Here an 80C is on the pigeon plate on the floor. You wouldn't be able to get a light source so low on a stand.
