I recently purchased the Camera Base Plate, and it has proven to be an essential addition to my camera rig. The build quality is solid, providing a stable foundation for my equipment.What I appreciate most is the versatility of the base plate, accommodating various camera setups with ease. It's lightweight yet sturdy, making it convenient for both on-the-go shooting and studio setups.The design is straightforward, allowing for quick and secure attachment. It has certainly improved the stability and balance of my camera rig, contributing to smoother shots and overall better performance.If you're in need of a reliable and well-built camera base plate, this product is a great investment.

Used this to support a might vision monocular securely on the front of my camera lens, worked great!

This item came in yesterday. Ordered on Sunday Jan 10th, arrived the 19th from China to Chicago suburb(MLK holiday may have delayed it by a day)Out of the box instantly impressed. The plate is SOLID. Flat black metal, thick. Solid quality. Same goes for the screws. I thought I would have to replace them but negative. They are keepers too. I bought this for my Canon C100's shoulder rig and it's been on there ever since. Been doing some test such as holding it upside down over my bed to test the quality of the screws and other things to make sure it isn't just too good to be true of a steal. Other basis I've seen from Ikan and Shape Are from $150-$200 and that's just insane for a baseplate in my opinion. This cost $50 and I'm so fricking happy with this purchase.It tightens just fine too. Knobs are good, they are a little small though. I took some from Kamerar shoulder rig's baseplate so all of mine on the rig would be the same so I could tighten them with a wrench if need be. The ones that come with tighten just fine. For me it's more for uniformity, plus I have big fingers.Buy with confidence. I'll be certain to buy more items from Smallrig. If you are building a rig for a camcorder I suggest this baseplate with a cheaper DSLR shoulder rig like the Kamarer one here on Amazon or build your own. It's SOLID.

like the title says, Its a super solid piece of gear, and does exactly what its supposed to do.

I purchased the base plate to use with my Sony a7IV camera and SmallRig cage. The base plate itself seems well made out of metal with nice rubber padding on the bottom. The 15mm rod rail clamp is very sturdy and solid when attached.My issue is that this base plate is not specifically made for the SmallRig cage designed for the a7IV. When used together, you can only attach one of the screws to mount the plate to the cage. The other screw hole does not line up properly.This leaves the setup feeling less secure and stable than if both screw holes could be utilized. It works but is not an ideal fit.Overall it's a quality base plate that works, just not perfectly matched for the a7IV cage.

Perfect for what I need doing racing videos.

Great

Product is as expected. Just be aware that for bigger lenses you might need to raise your camera to have enough clear space for the lens support to fit
