LeftField 3 Quick-Release

The LeftField Canon C500 Mk II Base Kit features a LeftField 3 Baseplate, that provides full compatibility with any ARRI standard dovetail. This makes it quick and convenient to mount your camera and transition from place to place. Whether you are shooting on a gimbal, a tripod or handheld (or all three); the LeftField 3 system will help minimise downtime.

15mm LWS Compatibility

The LeftField Baseplate also features two 15mm support rod brackets, for mounting in the 15mm LWS standard configuration. An industry standard mounting system, the support rods allow for more accessory placement and help balance your rig. Add a follow-focus motor or matte box – among other accessories – for a more versatile camera setup.

Top Plate Convenience

On top of the camera, the dedicated Sliding Top Plate has a dovetail of its own: making it easy to remove the central element for adjustment, without unscrewing the entire plate. There are also two additional 15mm support rod brackets on the top plate, ideal for gimbals and drone filmmaking.

Expanded Accessory Options

The Canon C500 Mk II Base Kit also comes with a top handle, making the camera easier to carry handheld. Both it and the top plate have an array of 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 screw threads, for easy accessory mounting. The Rosette Monitor Adaptor also allows you freedom to position the Canon LA-V1 monitor bracket when using the touchscreen.

Part of the LeftField 3 System

The LeftField 3 system of quick-release plates is designed to maximise compatibility between cameras, mounting to ARRI standard dovetails for secure placement but speedy removal. With a broad range of options available for different camera systems, you can find the perfect configuration no matter your camera or context for shooting.
This kit is updated to our LeftField 3 system from the now-discontinued LeftField 2. For a full compatibility breakdown, be sure to check our LeftField Compatibility Guide.

Compatibility

The LeftField Canon C500 Mk II Base Kit accommodates the 15mm LWS rod standard and mounts to any standard ARRI dovetail plate. The kit is intended for the Canon C500 Mk II but the components are compatible with the Canon C300 Mk III.
