15mm LWS Setup
The 15mm Light Weight Support (LWS) rod standard is one of the most common configurations for support rods, offering balance and versatility for matte boxes, follow-focus motors and – above all – your camera. This Advanced C400 Kit caters to that standard: offering a sturdy canvas from which to build out your rig. With two of our flagship Drumstix sterling titanium rods included, the Light Weight Support is truly light-weight.
Seamless ARRI Dovetail Compatibility
The LeftField 3 baseplate offers full compatibility with ARRI-standard dovetails, enabling smooth transitions between handheld and tripod setups. With a secure and reliable locking mechanism, this kit provides the stability needed for professional-grade filmmaking while maintaining the flexibility to adapt to any shooting environment.
Full BUD Compatibility
In addition, this C400 kit features the Universal BUD Riser and our Universal BUD Plate, offering an additional layer of quick-release functionality for rapid reconfiguration. Designed to set the C400 to the optimum height for ARRI’s Balanced Utility Dovetails, you have a wide range of mounting possibilities.
Canon C400 Accessories
Alongside the industry-standard accessories, the C400 kit also features dedicated components built specifically for the Canon camera. In addition to the Spacer for LeftField 3, the Top Plate and accompanying Filler Piece – as well as a NATO Monitor Hinge – are all designed to maximise compatibility with the C400. This allows you to still access core features such as the Microphone Shockmount and Multifunction Shoe mount. With these accessories, you can customise – not compromise.
Multiple Mounting Options
Fully-assembled, this C400 kit provides a huge suite of mounting options for additional accessories. The Top Plate alone already provides a range of flexibility, with 1/4” and 3/8” anti-twist threads, 15mm rod brackets, and Quick-Detach Sockets for straps and anchors.
The Wide Cheese Plate and accompanying Cheese Plate Adapter also provides similar accessibility at a 90-degree angle, offset from the camera body. Pair the two plates to create an ultra-versatile camera rig, with plenty of space for accessories.
Upgraded LCD Mount
Using our robust NATO monitor hinge, you have greater freedom of movement for your monitor. Maintaining a constant level with the horizon, the monitor mount allows you to fine-tune your setup so that you can always view your shots comfortably and quickly.
Vast Rigging Possibilities
The Canon C400 has been hailed as a “Swiss-Army Knife” of a camera, and this kit allows you to fully realise that potential. Create a more comfortable and versatile Top Handle with our Master Handle Extensions, or mount your C400 to our flagship KASBAH Ātman Shoulder Rig for handheld filmmaking. Remove the limits from your shoot with this advanced C400 kit.
