Overview

The Avenger C1100 Sparrow Plate is a narrow, flat mounting plate engineered to provide a secure attachment point for small lighting fixtures and accessories. Built from zinc steel for durability and corrosion resistance, this plate features multiple anchor points across its surface, enabling users to mount one or more small instruments in a compact footprint. The 5/8" male stud on the underside fits directly into standard grip heads, stand receivers, and boom arm mounts, making the Sparrow Plate immediately compatible with most professional grip systems.

Weighing only 0.40 lbs, the C1100 adds virtually no load to your rigging, which is particularly valuable when mounting on extended arms or lightweight stands where every ounce matters. Its narrow profile keeps it out of the way in tight setups, and the straightforward design means there are no moving parts to fail or adjustments to slip. For gaffers and grips who need a quick, reliable way to get small fixtures onto standard grip hardware, the Sparrow Plate is a practical, no-fuss solution that earns its place in the kit through sheer simplicity and dependability.

Pros & Cons

👎 Cons

  • Designed only for small, lightweight fixtures — not rated for heavier lighting instruments
  • Flat plate design offers no tilt or angle adjustment on its own, requiring a grip head for positioning
