Rubberized pads securely grip and hold the camera body.Īdjustable 1/4-20 screw for camera mounting to plate. Industry-standard 15mm rear rail support for adding shoulderpad, external battery and other rig accessories. Industry-standard 15mm front rail support for attaching follow focus, mattebox and other camera-front accessories (60mm spacing). This from the manufacturer: Key features of the lowBase include: This means for a mattebox to work it needs to be height adjustable or clamp on. The lowBase also works with Red’s Scarlet and Epic although the rail-to-center-of-lens measurement is non-standard. This means I can stow the DSLR or move it to another setup in a matter of seconds, without having to dismantle the bulk of the rig. I love the Really Right Stuff quick release system which gives me the ability to remove the camera from a rig rapidly. I do like what Redrock Micro have done by creating the lowBase, but personally I will continue to use the company’s microRRS adapter baseplate, which works well for shorter DSLRs such as the D800 and 5D mkIII without a handgrip added. The lowBase configured for Red, Nikon D4 and Canon EOS-1D X The lowBase as part of an Redrock Micro Eyespy rig This makes the lowBase a very cost effective option for tall DSLR owners seeking to build a versatile support system. One nice feature of the lowBase is that it supports rails coming out both of the front and rear of the baseplate – making it easy to build into shoulder rigs that require a shoulderpad, weights or batteries to be added behind the camera. The baseplate is made of aluminium which has been precision-machined to reduce weight as much as possible. Follow focus units, matteboxes and handgrips can then be added to the setup. The raison d’être for the lowBase is to allow 15mm rods and accessories to be easily attached to the camera, while not adding much bulk to the body. It also works with regular DSLRs such as the Canon 7D, 5D mkII, 5D mkIII and Nikon D800 when a battery grip is fitted. Redrock Micro have created a low profile baseplate for taller DSLRs like the Canon EOS-1D C and Nikon D4. By site editor Dan Chung: The Redrock Micro lowBase
