Please contact me for availability.

The DSLR Baseplate replaces the OEM attachment plate with a longer version which includes a riser area at the rear. For DSLR cameras this allows greater range of balance adjustment plus sufficient clearance for 15mm (60mm centered) rod mounted accessories. This plate yields faster lens changes and re-balance vs the limited travel inherent in OEM plates. I created this adapter plate to serve my own needs as a camera operator. After reviewing products from all of the following, Arri Cambo Cavision Chrosziel Cinecity Cinevate CPM DVtec Easom Express35 Genus Gini Halfinchrails HandySLR Hangrip Hotrodcameras IDC Ikancorp Indisystem JAG35Kinomatik Letus Redrockmicro Shoot35Viewfactor Vocas Wondlan Zacuto I was unable to find a simple adapter plate which allows simple re-balance of the camera “rig” on the head. Changing from a Canon 70-200mm zoom to a 50mm prime required pulling the mattebox, follow focus, and re-positioning the tripod plate onto the 15mm rod adapter. Not practical on a shoot. From my perspective is looks like most of the accessory manufactures have focused on rigs for DSLR hand held vs working from a fluid head. Currently two model plates available. – “Small” For heads which are compatible with the Libec H55 quick release plate. – “Large” Oconnor 2060, 2065, 2575, 120EX, Sachtler Cine 30 Includes two stainless steel 1/4″ 20 bolts w washers.
