SmallRig 15mm Arri Dovetail Baseplate (4002) - Reg $139 Display Model on Sale $99
NOTE: This Small Rig dovetail baseplate has a design flaw that doesn't engage the safety lock on some Arri Baseplates. While the baseplate will safely lock, if you turn the locking knob, if you forget to turn that locking knob, the baseplate won't catch on the safety catches on some dovetails. On some it does, on some it doesn't. What does that mean? On some dovetails the baseplate can slide off, if not locked down. Be aware of this before buying this baseplate.
Hollowed-out structure weighs just over 300g yet it can bear as much as 20kg. One 1/4"-20 screw and one 3/8"-16 screw, through the top though slots, lock camera to prevent twist; and a wrench is built into the side for assembly and disassembly without affecting the use of the baseplate. The baseplate features a 1/4"-20 threaded hole and a 3/8"-16 threaded hole at the bottom that support other quick-release plates besides ARRI ones. With a low center of gravity, it measures only 38mm in height, so that camera is only 28mm away from the dovetail plate, lowering the height of camera while leaving enough room for dual rods.
