Baby Plates

Mmmm baby plates. Lizardland Film Video HD has quite a few of these. Although these tend to disappear too. Just left places, not stolen. They work great on an apple box to make a light stand. In New York City they are known as pigeons. Probably because they were originally used to mount baby fixtures on the top of set walls. You know like pigeons sitting on the top of a wall. They come in 3 sizes; 3", 6-12", and right angle. The pin is 5/8" in diameter. Anything with this diameter mount is called baby. The pin has a small hole in it where you can put a safety wire. A must if using up high. I have my own experience with safety cables. They are mandatory on Lizardlandvideo.com sets. I was breaking down a convention room when the 20 foot curtains surrounding the room started to fall which then knocked over the trussing I was standing next to which had a 36" tv on it attached to a safety cable next to a glass case. Everything fell, the tv (which Lizardland owns) was dangling by it's safety cable unharmed. I was unharmed also but very scary. Anyway any good taco cart in the Phoenix Video Production community has a crate of baby plates. Of course along with this you need screws and a drill.
