BasePlate 1674

This item came in yesterday. Ordered on Sunday Jan 10th, arrived the 19th from China to Chicago suburb(MLK holiday may have delayed it by a day)Out of the box instantly impressed. The plate is SOLID. Flat black metal, thick. Solid quality. Same goes for the screws. I thought I would have to replace them but negative. They are keepers too. I bought this for my Canon C100's shoulder rig and it's been on there ever since. Been doing some test such as holding it upside down over my bed to test the quality of the screws and other things to make sure it isn't just too good to be true of a steal. Other basis I've seen from Ikan and Shape Are from $150-$200 and that's just insane for a baseplate in my opinion. This cost $50 and I'm so fricking happy with this purchase.It tightens just fine too. Knobs are good, they are a little small though. I took some from Kamerar shoulder rig's baseplate so all of mine on the rig would be the same so I could tighten them with a wrench if need be. The ones that come with tighten just fine. For me it's more for uniformity, plus I have big fingers.Buy with confidence. I'll be certain to buy more items from Smallrig. If you are building a rig for a camcorder I suggest this baseplate with a cheaper DSLR shoulder rig like the Kamarer one here on Amazon or build your own. It's SOLID.

UPDATE 20170413Still so pleased with smallrig gear. Years later, works perfectly. Happy with their carbon rails as well.This is such an excellent product! I spent so much more for so much less. This is now my main base for my fs7, replacing a much more frustrating and expensive design. My favorite feature of this base is that one can easily attach 2 screws to the bottom of the camera to prevent twisting. It is quick and easy to completely remove from the camera to change out from tripod to glidecam.Smallrigs customer service is top notch as well, quickly offering to refund me when I accidentally purchased 2 of these. I like it so much that I am keeping a second for a spare/b-rig. Thank you smallrig! I will be getting more of you hardware!

Great little baseplate. Simple and sturdy. No issues at all

Great base plate for rigging your camera with follow focus or lens support.

Overall, this is a great baseplate and when it does work, it works wonders. Not much to say about it's functionality other than it being a baseplate!That being said, be a bit weary of the baseplate's rod role tighteners. Be sure not to over tighten them. Had them get stuck on a shoot and whilst I was eventually able to loosen the threads, it wasn't the easiest thing to resolve.

I recently purchased the Camera Base Plate, and it has proven to be an essential addition to my camera rig.

It's lightweight yet sturdy, making it convenient for both on-the-go shooting and studio setups.The design is straightforward, allowing for quick and secure attachment. It has certainly improved the stability and balance of my camera rig, contributing to smoother shots and overall better performance.If you're in need of a reliable and well-built camera base plate, this product is a great investment. It has become a valuable component of my photography gear, and I highly recommend it for fellow photographers and videographers.

Muy útil cuando usas un tripode con una configuración robusta, en mi caso no quería tener que desmontar la cámara para tener que cambiar la batería. Con esta placa fácilmente puedo cambiar la batería sin mover mi plano, ni desmontar la zapata..

Además, el sistema de ajuste es firme y fácil de bloquear, transmitiendo mucha confianza.También incluye múltiples puntos de montaje (1/4 y 3/8), lo que permite personalizar el setup según tus necesidades. El peso está bien equilibrado: sólido pero sin hacer el conjunto demasiado pesado.En resumen, una base profesional, resistente y muy bien diseñada, ideal para videógrafos o cineastas que quieren armar rigs modulares con total estabilidad y compatibilidad. 100 % recomendable.

Buen producto, se ajusta perfectamente a la jaula, también de small rig.

Die Basisplatte ist genau das, was man für ein solides Setup braucht. Sie ist sauber verarbeitet, hält Kamera und 15 mm Rods sicher und lässt sich schnell ins Rig integrieren. Nichts wackelt, alles sitzt fest – egal ob mit Käfig oder direkt an der Kamera. Für mich eine zuverlässige Platte, die in keinem Rig fehlen sollte, besonders zu dem Preis.

The perfect link between a tripod bush and 15mm rods

Simple and good quality

Good solid little base plate.
