Baseplate with Dual 15mm Rod Clamp

I recently purchased the Camera Base Plate, and it has proven to be an essential addition to my camera rig. The build quality is solid, providing a stable foundation for my equipment. What I appreciate most is the versatility of the base plate, accommodating various camera setups with ease. 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.

This is built solidly, great for shoulder or hand held rig. Smallrig makes great product's. You get what you pay for!

I recently picked up the Sony ZV-E10 camera and due to Sony not making the battery door removable I discovered that I couldn’t use my other rail mount setups. After doing some measuring and looking around, I decided to pick up this SmallRig rail mount. It arrived today and it’s perfect! The price for the quality is honestly pretty awesome and now I can use my cine batteries with the new camera as well as a matte box. Highly recommended!

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.

I have one of these permanently mounted to each of my tripods, making adding monitors and other accessories very easy. One proviso is the handles for tightening the clamps can come unscrewed with use so be careful.

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..

I really like this 15mm base plate. It's easy to add a quick release plate onto the bottom, using either 1/4-20 or 3/8-16 threads. You can even mount with both 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads if your quick plate has both. The metal construction of this is light, but really rugged. The 15mm rails are standard width apart, so you can use this with a standard follow focus or build up your own shoulder rig with this as your baseplate. There are also 1/4-20 mounting points on the front and back of the plate, so you can add articulating arms for mounting an external monitor or any other accessories that you like. Pros: Light and compact size. 15mm rails lock in tight with pressure screws. Multiple 1/4-20 mounting holes all around the plate. Cons: 2 separate screw slides for mounting camera, 1 long slide would be ideal. Overall, you can't go wrong with this plate. If you're looking to throw on a follow focus to your camera or build up a full shoulder rig, this is a great starting point.

La placa base de cámara SMALLRIG con abrazadera de riel LWS de 15 mm es una pieza imprescindible si estás montando un rig de cámara completo. La construcción en aluminio es robusta y de excelente calidad, con acabados precisos y sin rebabas. Los rieles encajan perfectamente, sin holguras, lo que garantiza una estructura estable para soportar follow focus, matte box o accesorios adicionales. 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.

Muy bueno y profesional.

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.
