DSLR Baseplate

DSLR Baseplate
See details
SKU: Z-DSLR-B

Your Zacuto DSLR Base Plate is a highly configurable base plate which is adjustable to accommodate tall and short body cameras and cameras with battery grips. It also has mounting points to attach just about anything. It comes with 2 black 3.5" rods.

The DSLR Base Plate can accommodate 15mm rods on all 4 sides. On the front are 2 levels for rods. The top is for mounting follow focuses, matte boxes, zoom/focus motors and lens support if space allows. The bottom rods are primarily used for lens support and single or double hand grips. These rods can be locked via allen screw so as to not come loose if using only one side for a single hand grip. The rear rod holes are for rod extensions to support battery power, wireless plates, monitors and numerous other accessories that you may need when in a tripod configuration. The rod holes on the left and right sides are for mounting the gunstock and the offset shoulder pad and counterweight for hand held use. Also mounted on these side rods can be a top handle, monitor arms and the cage which would use both sides at the same time.

On the bottom of the DSLR Base plate are your standard ¼ 20 and 3/8 16 mounting holes for tripods, mono pods, steadicams, etc. The top plate is a quick release plate that with a twist of the red knob lifts straight up and off separating your DSLR with the Z-finder attached, from the rest of your rig. The red knob also gives you left/right movement to adjust the lens position. On the front of the base plate between the rods are 2 allen screws that are used to adjust the top plate vertically. The vertical adjustment is to adjust for different camera body sizes and maintain the proper lens height.

Universal lightweight support system with Z-Release

Universal lightweight support system with Z-Release
See details
SKU: Z-LWS

The Zacuto Lightweight Support System (LWS) comes with Z-Release for all professional 2/3”, 1/2" sized cameras as well as prosumer cameras such as the JVC GY-HD100/200/250 and/or the Canon XL-H1. The LWS gives you the ability to mount rods to the front of your camera so that you can attach matte boxes and follow focus units. This system was designed to be used with a wedge style tripod plate. Zacuto has taken this several steps further. This is the first universal lightweight support plate to work with all Sony, Panasonic, Canon and JVC cameras that use the wedge style tripod plate, meaning that one plate can be used for all cameras. When you get a new camera, you can still use the Z-LWS.

Zephyr300

Zephyr300

SKU: Z-ZEPH300

The Zephyr300 is Zacuto's 15mm lightweight support plate custom made for the Panasonic HPX300 and other 300 series cameras. It works in conjunction with a Quick-Release Tripod Plate (not included with the camera) and the actual stainless steel V-Wedge triangle from the HPX300 camera. Zephyr300 allows you to adjust the 15mm rods up, down, left & right to align your matte box to the lens on the camera. You can also mount a follow focus or lens support if desired. It has a unique long design, with an opening in the bottom which gives room for adjusting buttons in the lower front of the camera. This design is extremely lightweight yet very strong. Like all Zacuto products, it is made from the highest quality materials, built to the most extreme tolerances and backed with a lifetime warranty.

This is the only plate on the market for the NEW Panasonic HPX300, since Panasonic changed the way LWS plates mount to the bottom of their cameras. After attempting to make a spacer for the new Panasonic, we decided that it would simply be easier to make a custom Zephyr plate.

The Zephyr includes two 6.5" rods. For extra long lenses, rod extensions may be necessary.
