The Gold mount Battery Adapter Plate from IndiPRO Tools provides unregulated 12V power (12 to 16V depending on battery connected) through a D-Tap connector on the plate. Attached to the back of this plate is a 15mm LWS rod bracket which can also be used as a counterweight. This rod bracket system gives you the flexibility to mount the plate on a variety of different mounting setups.

I didn't expect tons from this item with it's price. It works, serves it's function. I have found it to be solid and sturdy even though it doesn't exactly feel like it. I don't need to replace it, but I'm not sure I'd buy it again if I could do it again.
We often have a mobile camera on our productions and having to mount our gold mount batteries with zip ties wasn't the ideal scenario, especially if we had to change mid-show. This mounted to our rig easily and makes it easy to swap out and doesn't offset the balance. The flexibility of mounting options also helps us both access other screws on the rig if needed and doesn't lock us into a specific orientation. Add a power adapter or two for your devices (which we did), and this little piece of engineering becomes one of your new best friends. Sometimes simple really is best.
