⚡ At a Glance
- • Mounting Compatibility: Stretchable baseplate, fits most mirrorless and DSLR cameras under 111mm thick, Arca and threaded mounting options available
- • Best for: Videographers, gimbal operators and hybrid shooters who switch between handheld, stabiliser and tripod setups
- • Not ideal for: Setups that do not use V-mount batteries or cameras thicker than 111mm
L-shaped, foldable V-mount plate with double Arca quick-release plates and multiple threaded mounting holes. Stretchable baseplate and 180° rotation let operators adjust fit and access flip screens without removing the battery.
Rapid switch between supports – with double Arca-Swiss quick release plates
Two Arca-Swiss quick-release plates are supplied, one intended for fitting to the camera or cage and the other for attachment to the plate, with additional 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threaded holes for alternative QR plates. The arrangement allows mounting to tripod heads, gimbals or handheld setups without swapping hardware.
Faster transitions between tripod, stabiliser and handheld shooting, saving setup time and reducing the chance of cross-threading or misalignment.
Flexible fit across camera sizes – thanks to a stretchable baseplate
Baseplate stretches up to 36.5 mm using a toggle lock mechanism for quick, tool-free adjustment. Compatibility is specifically for mirrorless and DSLR cameras under 111 mm thick, with examples listed by brand.
Simple, secure accommodation of different camera bodies and cages, so the same plate works across multiple rigs without extra adapters.
Unobstructed access to screens – with 180° rotatable V-mount and pivot dampening
Plate rotation of 180° can be adjusted forward for compact storage or backward to provide clearance for flip screens, with pivot dampening to prevent device drop during movement. Rotation does not require battery removal before adjustment.
Operate flip-screen cameras and check framing or menus while the battery remains mounted, making on-set adjustments quicker and safer.
