The WingPlate joins two Astera tube holders on a single aluminium plate. The two clips support one tube and leave a central thread behind it for the mounting hardware. A bare WingPlate arrives without the clips.

Astera lists the same plate for the AX1 PixelTube, FP1 Titan, FP2 Helios and FP3 Hyperion. The plate, holders and spigot have separate order codes. Spell out all three when a rental house lists only “Astera tube mount”.

On set
For a line of tubes in frame, lay out the plates, clip pairs and connecting hardware by position before the fixtures arrive. Look along the camera sightline once the tubes are in place. A visible bracket or a connector trapped against the set can force a change after the tubes have been addressed.
Rental and used-gear checks
- Check the part label on the plate and verify two matching holders per assembly.
- Inspect the clips, both holder screws and the centre thread for damage.
- For a suspended installation, have the responsible rigger confirm the support and secondary retention for the full assembly. The plate weight is not a load rating.
