NetJuggler's review of the Prodigy Aerial Anchor Plate:

Rigging plates have become essential accessories for neatly organizing an aerial rig. The 3-hole version is ideal for compact or mobile installations, while the 5-hole version offers greater flexibility when multiple rigging elements or connections need to be managed simultaneously.

The Prodigy model features clean and robust construction with a durable anodized finish. Its design allows for efficient distribution of connections and avoids certain mechanical stresses on the carabiners, particularly in multi-point setups.

To extend the life of aluminum when used with steel carabiners, some riggers use a sacrificial layer (steel shackle or quick link) to limit wear on the metal.
