Studio Baseplate with 12" rods for Canon C100-C300-C500

The Studio Baseplate with 12" rods for Canon C100/300/500 is made specifically for the EOS C100/300/500 cameras. It is exceptionally flat which helps keep the center of gravity low. The rod to lens height for Canon C Series cameras is 85mm from rod center to lens center. This baseplate features a pair of 15mm rods that are 12” long running through the length of the baseplate. You can quickly reposition the rods for various lens lengths by loosening the 2 levers, one on each side of the baseplate.

On each side of the baseplate there is a set of 15mm lightweight holes. The side holes take 15mm female rods that are locked via an Allen screw. This gives users a virtually unlimited amount of mounting options. The side holes can be used for an EVF, Zacuto articulating arms, rods and more. Or, you could mount a Zwiss Plate with professional batteries off of the side of the baseplate, via two female/female rods, when shooting on a tripod for better balance. The baseplate has standard ¼” 20 and 3/8” 16 holes on the bottom for mounting the rig onto a tripod.

The Studio Baseplate attaches to the camera with 3/8” 16 and ¼” 20 screws*. This Baseplate is perfect for a rig like the Stinger or an advanced tripod rig with rods coming off of the back end for external power, etc.

*The screw hole pattern on the Studio Baseplate is ¼” 20, 3/8” 16, 3/8” 16, 3/8” 16. To mount the C300/100/500 camera, you will use the 1/4” 20 and the first 3/8” 16 screw holes. The Baseplate will ship with one ¼” 20 screw and one 3/8” 16 screw. If you are mounting a Scarlet or Epic camera, you will use the last two 3/8” 16 screws. In order to use a follow focus or matte box on the Scarlet or Epic with this plate, you will need Zacuto Rod Riser for Scarlet and Epic Cameras. You may also want to add another 3/8 16” screw for security.
