Kupo KS-271 V-Lock Base – precision machined black anodized aluminum for minimized wiggle
The Kupo KS-271 V-Lock Base is a precision-machined V-lock wedge made from black anodized 6061 aluminum. It delivers tight tolerances that reduce unwanted movement and provides multiple mounting options for camera rigs and accessories.
Key features and mounting options
The KS-271 offers several practical mounting interfaces. You can attach it directly to a Convi clamp (KCP-700) using the supplied M5 hardware and a 3/8” to M5 adapter that mounts from the back of the V-lock base. In addition, the base has a central 3/8”-16 tapped hole for mounting to equipment. You can use the supplied 3/8”-16 slotted countersunk screw into the female thread or secure the base using a standard 3/8”-16 Arri-style anti-rotation pin.
For plate and cheese-style mounting, the two 3/8”-16 tapped holes on the back are spaced 1” center-to-center. This spacing enables attachment to most standard cheese plates and similar accessory plates.
