Custom SLR Uses Shrink Ray on the M-Plate, Out Pops the M-Plate Mini
Rumors of a soon-to-arrive iPad Mini are heating up, but one photo gear company has beaten Apple to the “mini” game: Custom SLR announced its new M-Plate Mini today. It’s the smaller sibling of the company’s M-Plate Pro, which takes up more space because it includes a couple of extra connection points for attaching accessories (e.g. the company’s strap and hand-grap strap mount).
Here’s a quick demo of the M-Plate Pro, which debuted at the beginning of the year at CES 2012:
In terms of build quality, the company took steps to ensure that it’s highly durable: the accessory is fashioned out of aerospace-grade aluminum and has a hard anodized black finish, which resists corrosion and wear.
You’ll be able to purchase an M-Plate Mini from the Custom SLR website and from retailers around the world starting in November 2012 for $50, $25 less than the price of its larger counterpart.
