Create Baseplate Kit

Description

Practical, versatile and durable: the Create Baseplate Kit is the perfect choice for clean and easy camera mounting. With 1/4″ and 3/8” screw threads on the base and a multi-standard dovetail clamp on the top, the Create Baseplate bridges the gap between rigs and mounts.

Coming with dual 9” support rods, the Create Baseplate Kit gives you everything you need to set your camera up from any mount.

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.

15mm LWS Support

Support rods are essential for mounting follow-focus wheels, handgrips and matte boxes. The Create Baseplate Kit comes with two 9” Drumstix support rods, which can be used with the baseplate at either end. The dual rod brackets are in the LWS standard width 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.

Extendable Rods

The included structural alloy rods feature M12 threads at each ends, allowing for easy and secure connections with the Threaded Rod Joiner. This enables you to extend rods seamlessly, creating longer configurations without gaps. The smooth join ensures accessories can slide over connections effortlessly.

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 Kit mounts to any standard 1/4″ or 3/8” screw via the threads on its base, making it compatible with a wide range of mounting points and dovetails. The Baseplate itself features two independent 15mm rod brackets, spaced at the standard 15mm LWS width. The top of 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.

The Drumstix 15mm Structural Alloy rods have threaded ends, allowing them to be extended with other Drumstix rods with a connecting Rod Joiner.
