Broaden your rigging possibilities with the Create Base Kit – designed to elevate your Canon camera setup.

The Essential C80 Setup

The Create Canon C80 Base Kit gives you everything you need to get started with your C80. The combination of the Universal Dovetail on the base of the camera and the Top Plate on the top gives you freedom to rig your camera however you may need; with accessory mounting options and compatibility with industry-standard formats.

One Dovetail, Endless Options

Our Universal Dovetail is the only dual-compatible dovetail for both DJI RS 4 gimbal plates and Manfrotto 501PL tripods, which means that you can seamless switch between gimbal and tripod shooting. The design offers sliding travel to help balance your setup, meaning that your C80 will be prepped for everything. From nimble gimbal shooting to static tripod shots, reduce downtime with our multipurpose dovetail.

Top Plate Convenience

Where the Universal Dovetail adds freedom of placement for your camera, our C80 Top Plate offers freedom for what you place on the camera. The Top Plate provides a canvas for customisation with 1/4″ and 3/8” anti-twist points; as well as MAP M4 points, a Cold Shoe mount, QD sockets and 15mm rod support. Securely mounted from three points, the Top Plate is a firm foundation for rigging.

Full Functionality

With the Create Canon C80 Base Kit, we’ve worked to keep full access to the stock C80’s features. With our Top Plate covering the intended C80 top handle slot, the included NATO Mount repurposes the top handle for use on a NATO rail, so you can quickly install or adjust your handle on the move. We’ve also offered alternate placements for the C80’s film plane hook and microphone shockmount – meaning you don’t have to choose between freedom and function.

Compatibility

The Create Canon C80 Base Kit is compatible with the Canon C80, with a purpose-built Top Plate and NATO Mount for the stock C80 top handle.
