The SHAPE C300 Baseplate is made specifically for theCanon EOS C300 Camera. This camera accessory provides a small, light setupsolution expandable to a more elaborate setup. 

The baseplate attachesunderneath the camera with 4 x M4 screws or with 3/8”-16 and 1/4”-20 screwsthat are included. The baseplate maintains the proper lens center to the rodheight for use with available rod mounted accessories. This allows you to useavailable standard follow focus units, zoom motors, and matte boxes with yourcamera while using the baseplate.

The offset bracket shifts the weight of the camera to your shoulder and provides rod brackets for attaching rods and the shoulder pad, as well as available accessories.

Paparazzi Handle

The SHAPE Paparazzi handle features a total of 20 screw-holes for attaching accessories. The Handle is totally solid and are both water cut / laser cut, as opposed to being moulded. The 20 screw-holes are a mix of 1/4″, 3/8″ and 1/2″ sizes and all run completely through from end to end.

They are positioned vertically or horizontally along the Handle. The 1/4″ and 3/8″ holes can take on almost any 1/4″ and 3/8″ accessories like lights, monitors, mics, grips, remote controls, recorders, articulating arms, wireless audio receivers, camera plates, and more. And into the 1/2″ holes you can screw in male-threaded SHAPE rods (2ROD15MF4, 2ROD15MF6).

The diverse set of screw-holes lets you get very creative in dressing up your rig. And the ability to screw in rods lets you just as creatively extend your rig.

Quick Handle rod bloc

The SHAPE Quick handle rod bloc is a professional videostabilization accessory with 2 camera handle grips, each providing anindividual rotation angle of 360°. You can attach the handle to the cameraplatform using a simple screw knob.

A simple Push-Button located at thearticulation allows easy attachment and removal. Combined with the anodized aluminium rod bloc, the quick handle offers composite camera support for all 15mm rods. You can achieve precise positioning by sliding the Quick Handle alongthe rods and tightening the small red knob located on the Rod Bloc. The rodbloc is designed with 2 screw-threaded holes allowing the mounting of the QuickHandle.

SHAPE is well known for its patented Push-button handle, now used by so many professionals in the industry. The technology was developed to give filmmakers quick and easy adjustment. By simply pressing the button, you are allowed a 360-degree rotation to place the handle in the best position for your use. Push, adjust, release, and then its lock.

Composite adjustable shoulder pad

The SHAPE adjustable shoulder pad is padded forsuperior comfort and is made of slip-free material. The screw knob allows attaching SHAPE counter-weight (PAD1, PADCW1).

By adding extra male-female rods atthe back, you can also attach a counter-weight behind the same rods. This way,your body can easily support the weight of the camera and itsaccessories. 

The shoulder pad is also the perfect solution for switching rapidly from shoulder to tripod without having to remove the shoulder pad. It can remain on the camera rig permanently, and it is designed with a 15 mm sliding rod block camera screw knob (1/4-20) for adjustment.  

Base counterweight rod bloc 

The SHAPE base counterweight rod bloc is used incombination with the SHAPE adjustable composite shoulder pad (SHPAD1, SHPAD2,SHPAD3) to increase the camera rig stability by balancing or counterweightingthe camera at the back. Enhanced comfort is offered via padding and free motionof the handles is also enabled as the camera weight is relieved by thecounterweight.

You can attach the SHAPE base counterweight rod bloc to the SHAPEadjustable composite shoulder pad via 15 mm rods. Equipped with a sliding rodbloc, the SHAPE adjustable composite shoulder pad can be attached to the 15 mmrods. 

Precise balance is achieved by positioning the counterweight closer or further away from you, which is possible by sliding the weight along the rods. Made of CNC machined, high-quality aircraft grade aluminium parts are hard anodized for a resistant finish and assembled with stainless steel screws to prevent rusting.

Follow Focus friction & Gear clic 

The SHAPE Friction & Gear Follow-Focus Clic withAdjustable Marker is made of lightweight anodized CNC aluminium for strength anddurability. It is designed to attach onto standard 15 mm rods of shouldersupport rigs and other rigs.

It attaches onto them via a clamp system, withsimplicity. You would sit the Clic on top of the rods, and then slide and closea SHAPE-patented lever clamp underneath the rods, and the lever locks and holdsthe Clic securely on the rods.

The Clic's focus mechanism also works with aclamp system, which when unlocked loosens the focus mechanism and allows it tobe moved horizontally As it moves, its main feature -- the focus disk -- moveswith it, and the focus disk is what reaches the lens. The focus disk can eitherbe a friction wheel or a gear wheel. Both are present in this package andreplacing one with the other is accomplished with the help of the includedAllen wrench.

The friction wheel has a rubber outer surface that would press upagainst the lens, keep firm contact with it, and ensure accurate and slip-freefocusing. The friction wheel would serve well for most lenses and is made ofhigh-quality rubber that in cold temperatures won't get too cold to lose itsgrip.

The gear wheel would accommodate those lenses that specifically haveteeth on their focusing rings, and it would do so without any ring gears, bypressing its 0.8 pitch gears into the teeth. The focus mechanism can be used oneither the left or the right side of the lens, depending on the direction youplace the Clic onto the rods in. And the focus disk itself can be used eitherin front of the focus mechanism or behind it, so to accommodate a wider varietyof lens lengths.

To move the disk to the rear, you would first just unscrew twoscrews from the gearbox. Once the screws are off, the focus disk can just be flippedover for use with longer lens constructions.

The white mark disk at the rightof the red knob is made of highly resistant Delrin thermoplastic. It can bewritten on with non-permanent markers to mark up focus measurements for variouspredetermined shots, and it is interchangeable and thereby many predeterminedmeasurements can be kept ready at your side.

Additionally, a slide-adjustablemarker made of aluminium is included to be attached beside the mark disk and tobe moved and tightened into positions along the disk.
