LeftField 3 Baseplate – Blackmagic PYXIS, Panasonic EVA-1, Varicam LT

Description

The LeftField 3 baseplate kit provides everything you need to get your camera set up for 15mm LWS shooting. Using our Open•Up system, you can seamlessly mount or remove your camera rig from any standard ARRI dovetail. 

Compatible with a range of cameras including the Blackmagic PYXIS, the LeftField Baseplate kit is the best choice for professional filming.

Lift-Off

The LeftField 3 Baseplate uses our unique Open•Up quick-release system: a three-stage design which lets you securely lock the baseplate in place, slide along a dovetail or lift it off vertically. This gives you full freedom of positioning and makes it easier than ever to transfer your camera from mount to mount. 

15mm LWS Compatible

With the Riser included in this kit, you can set a range of cameras to the 15mm LWS standard height – see the “Compatibility” section below for a list of confirmed cameras. Ideal for balancing matte boxes, follow-focus motors and lens supports, this provides essential support for your camera rig.

Interchangeable Risers

But if you update or upgrade your camera, all that you need to swap out is the Riser itself. The LeftField Baseplate and Dovetail can accommodate any and all camera systems – and thanks to their robust build quality, they will be the same on your first cameras as on your fiftieth. 

Instructions

The LeftField 3 Baseplate comes with the required baseplate, riser and dovetail plate. You will require a 3mm Hex Key in order to assemble it.
