SmallRig 4002 15mm Dovetail Baseplate

SmallRig 4002 15mm Dovetail Baseplate – Stable and Low Profile

The SmallRig 4002 15mm Dovetail Baseplate is an excellent solution for filmmakers seeking stability and flexibility in their camera setup. This baseplate is designed to securely hold your camera in place and prevent twisting, which is crucial for capturing perfect shots. With its low profile, it allows for a lower camera height, creating a stable platform for both filming and photography.

Features and Benefits

The baseplate is equipped with two screws – a 1/4"-20 screw and a 3/8"-16 screw – located on the top of the plate. These screws ensure that the camera is firmly secured and prevent unwanted twisting during recording. Additionally, the plate has a built-in tool on the side, making it easy to mount and dismount without affecting the use of the baseplate. This is particularly useful for filmmakers who often need to switch between different camera setups.

This dovetail baseplate features both a 1/4"-20 threaded hole and a 3/8"-16 threaded hole on the bottom, making it compatible with other quick-release plates, including ARRI. With a height of only 38 mm, it offers a low center of gravity, meaning the camera will sit just 28 mm above the dovetail plate. This lowers the camera height and provides enough space for dual 15 mm rods, which is essential for creating stable and professional videos.

It is worth noting that when using the SmallRig 4002 with dual 15 mm rods and cameras with a low optical axis, it is recommended to use a cage or a plate that raises the camera to optimize the recording angle. The center of the rods is 15 mm from the top of the dovetail plate and 13 mm from the top of the baseplate, providing perfect balance for your camera equipment.
