Create 15mm LWS Baseplate (Arca/DJI/Manfrotto)

Description

For constantly changing setups, the Create 15mm LWS Baseplate is the ultimate choice for clean and steady rigging. Compatible with Arca, DJI and Manfrotto dovetail plates, the Create Baseplate is a multipurpose baseplate that can be attached to any standard 1/4″ or 3/8” screw thread – ideal for jibs, sliders or other industry-standard mounting points.

Made from lightweight aluminium and just 100mm in length, the Create Baseplate keeps a compact yet durable form factor that is ideal for simple or complex camera setups.

Multi-Standard Dovetail

The Create Baseplate is a multipurpose unit, capable of safely holding dovetail plates in Arca, DJI and Manfrotto standards. Designed as a mount for our Universal Dovetail, the multiple functions allow you to use the Create Baseplate with a wide range of alternative plates.

Seamless Swapping

Though each of the dovetail standards has their own requirements, the Create Baseplate is engineered to match them. A safety stop pin keeps your dovetail secure, which can then be removed and replaced for the alternative standards.

15mm LWS Brackets

Support rods are the backbone of a range of top camera accessories such as follow-focus wheels, handgrips and matte boxes. The Create Baseplate accommodates 15mm rods in the LWS standard spacing, with independently-locking brackets on the front and back of each. This means that rods can be individually inserted into either end, for greater versatility with smaller support rods.

Part of the Create System

The Create series of accessories from Bright Tangerine offer accessible and versatile options for filmmakers of any level. Broadly compatible, the Create range provides new ways to customise your camera for varied shooting scenarios.

Compatibility

The Create Baseplate attaches to any standard 1/4″ or 3/8” screw thread, and features 15mm rod brackets. The Baseplate’s rod brackets are spaced at the 15mm LWS width, but the height will depend on the dovetail plate installed. When used with the Universal Dovetail, the distance from the support rods to the top of the dovetail will be 29mm.

The Create Baseplate is also compatible with other DJI, Manfrotto and Arca dovetail plates. Arca dovetail plates must be a minimum of 8.7mm in height for clearance above the Baseplate.
