What is this beastie called?

What are these little foot-capturing-mount-plate things called?

[osa]

is it possible a form of a cold she mount? hard to tell but search brings up slightly similar looking items

It's hard to tell from that photograph as the size isn't obvious, but it reminds me of a microphone hang-up clip. https://www.google.com/search?q=microphone+hang+up+clip&client=firefox-b-1-d&sxsrf=ALeKk01kwzcfmKbxUnr29CQsh1ctHQ_5UA:1607465336078&tbm=isch&source=iu&ictx=1&fir=i_Zd_IppnqvDyM%2CdSmwsQbFqahr9M%2C_&vet=1&usg=AI4_-kSHaGJjm-8lUi8DzBFJJKKIPMjVhQ&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwi7xuGCs7_tAhXPvZ4KHX6XAHkQ9QF6BAgJEAE#imgrc=i_Zd_IppnqvDyM

Breaker 1 9. That looks like a two-way radio or CB radio mic hanger. Dash board mount.

Specifically this is a close up of one of the upper corners on the Aaton "Cheese Plate" for the Cantar Mini.  I'd like to find the receiver plates they're using (yes, I could email Aaton but I thought I'd ask around first).

That cheese plate receiver looks just like a mic hanger. Here is the other half of a mic hanger, the 'button' that you may be looking for - https://www.rightchannelradios.com/products/replacement-hanger-button

Thanks all!  Drpro mentioned in his DIY thread that he had sourced some directly from Aaton, and while I still have no idea what they're properly called I've found a dartboard hanging kit on Amazon that includes an exact-fitting plate.

Neil I just sent a photo to Pierre.  I didn't know what to call it either.  I do think the microphone clip idea might work.  Just remember the underside of the Mini is not uniform, hence the left and right shapes of the clips.  They appear to be made from stainless steel and are perhaps 2-3mm thick.  I do trust the 3/8" mounting screw, but the clips keep the Mini in place.

Just my 2 cents

[Erin Bliss]

That's pretty much my thought process as well, the mounting screw will do the bulk of the work, but I'd like the clips up front to help out a little and keep the unit located.  I did a little bit of a test fit on the pieces I found, and they look like they'll work but may need a little trimming to work around the specifics of the Mini's underside.
