LeftField Mini Canon C80 Base Kit

Description

The LeftField Mini Canon C80 Base Kit gives you full freedom of customisation whilst still maintaining the compact form factor of the Canon camera. Featuring our LeftField Mini Baseplate for quick-release convenience; the Base Kit sets the C80 to the industry-standard 15mm LWS height for compatibility with matte boxes, follow-focus and more.

Ideal for shooters of any skill level, the LeftField Mini C80 Base Kit is the perfect foundation for customising your Canon camera setup.

Keep Your Rig Compact

The LeftField Mini Baseplate is 60% the size of the full-size LeftField 3 alternative, without losing our patented Open•UP system for quick-release functionality. Combined with the included Riser, you can set your C80 to the 15mm LWS standard height. This setup allows you to cleanly transfer your entire rig from any ARRI dovetail in moments.

Top Plate Convenience

Our C80 Top Plate offers freedom how you customise your 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. The Top Plate is designed to keep essential functions free, or relocate them on the Top Plate so you can customise without compromise.

Quick-Release Top Handle

The Top Plate also features a side-to-side NATO rail for attaching different accessories – which sits over the mount for the stock C80 Top Handle. This isn’t a flaw but a feature: the LeftField Mini Base Kit also features a NATO Mount, that converts your stock Top Handle for use with the Top Plate – adding further freedom to your setup. The Handle clicks into place when dead-centre on the Top Plate.

Room for More

The Base Kit for the Canon C80 provides the framework for customisation, but the possibilities don’t end there. The Riser and Top Plate are designed to accommodate our dedicated Side Rib, for further expansion of what’s possible with the C80. The LeftField Mini Baseplate can be fitted with our KASBAH Shoulder Pad for a minimalist shoulder rig setup, and the options for mounting from the 15mm support rod brackets open up entirely new options for your setup. Start experimenting, and find the perfect rig for your needs.

Refined and Robust

Each accessory in the LeftField Mini Canon C80 Base Kit has been designed to be practical, durable and reliable. Made from aerospace-grade aluminium, components are resistant to the wear-and-tear of frequent filmmaking whilst remaining lightweight and low-profile on your rig.

Instructions/Assembly

The Create Canon C80 Advanced Kit comes with all required components and screws. You will require your own flathead screwdriver and 3mm Hex Key in order to assemble it.

Camera to Universal Dovetail

1. Align the captive 3/8” screw with the corresponding thread on the base of your Canon C80.

2. Use a flathead screwdriver to tighten the screw into place.

Dovetail to Create Baseplate

1. Slide the Universal Dovetail into the rear of the Create Baseplate.

2. Tighten the clamp using the winged lever.

Top Plate to Camera

1. Use a flathead screwdriver to screw the central screw of the Top Plate to the C80’s top point.

2. Remove the Film Plane Hook from the C80 body.

3. Use a 3mm Hex Key to screw the included bolt into the Film Plane Hook Slot – marked with a padlock on the Top Plate.

4. Use the 3mm Hex Key to screw the third and final screw into the C80’s strap point – also marked with a padlock.

Support Rods to Create Baseplate

1. Insert the Support Rods into the open brackets of the Baseplate.

2. When positioned, tightly secure them in place with the winged-lever clamp on either side.

Side Rib to Top Plate

1. Align the top of the Side Rib with the marked screw thread on the C80 Top Plate – the writing should be upwards with the Cold Shoe mount at the top of the plate.

2. Use a 3mm Hex Key to tightly screw the captive M4 screw through to the Top Plate – the locating pins will help ensure a flush fit.

Brace to Side Rib

1. Align the captive M4 screw of the Side Rib with the slot of the Brace – the Brace should be bent outwards from the front of the camera.

2. Use a 3mm Hex Key to tightly screw the two parts together.

Brace to Universal Dovetail

1. Align the captive 1/4″-20 screw thread of the side rib brace with the universal dovetail (they should already be roughly aligned if the camera has been mounted).

2. Position your camera forwards or backwards on the dovetail as required, and use a flathead screwdriver to screw the included 1/4″-20 screw through the base of the dovetail into the brace.

Top Handle to NATO Rail

1. Slide the NATO clamp onto a corresponding NATO rail – if the rail has a central socket, you will hear the spring-loaded balls click into place when the handle is centred.

2. Use the lever clamp to tighten the Top Handle into place.

Compatibility

The Create Canon C80 Advanced Kit is designed to be compatible with the Canon C80: with a purpose-built Top Plate, Side Rib and Side Rib Brace. The remaining accessories are universal, however, and can be used with any camera system.

The Universal Dovetail is compatible with any camera system, as well as mounting to both Manfrotto and DJI plates. The Create Baseplate is also universal; accommodating Manfrotto, DJI, Sachtler and Arca plates.
