Zacuto Mini DSLR Baseplate

Description

The Mini DSLR Baseplate was designed in tandem with and includes our Gorilla Plate V2. The Gorilla Plate V2 acts as the quick release to take your camera off the main section of the Mini DSLR Baseplate. It attaches to your camera with a single ¼ 20 screw.

The Mini DSLR Baseplate includes a pair of 4.5” female/female 15mm diameter lightweight spaced rods that slide into the front of the plate and are clamped in place with an Allen screw. Move these rods up and down to accommodate your accessories, such as a matte box, via two Allen screws at the front of the unit. These rods are threaded to accept male rod extensions for longer lenses and other accessories.

The Mini DSLR Baseplate has two lightweight spaced threaded rod ports at the back of the unit. Add any length male/female rods to support a shoulder pad or Zwiss Plate (cheeseplate) for your batteries and other accessories.

A 15mm female rod port (tightened with an Allen) can be found at the left side of the Mini DSLR Baseplate to attach an EVF Standard Mount or Zamerican articulating arm to hold an EVF Pro or other accessory. A 15mm rod port, which tightens with a red quick release ratcheting lever, can also be found on the underside of the unit.

Please note:
The Mini DSLR Baseplate is only compatible with standard small body DSLRs like the Canon 5D M2/M3, T2i/3i/4i, 7D, 6D, Nikon D800, D3000, and Panasonic GH3.

It is not ideal when a battery grip is in place or on tall body cameras like the Nikon D3s or Canon 1Dc/x because the rods may not be able to get in the proper position for centering a matte box. For those cameras, we recommend our standard DSLR Baseplate.
