Hey,
looks epic...

 

[Matthew Rogers]

Hey Brian, I know in your email to me that you said the quick release can't get pulled like it can on Arri and ET base plates, but I am wondering what's keeping, what looks like just a screw knob, from getting knocked or vibrating loose?

 

[Andy Jarosz]

Beautiful!

 

[Kwan Khan]

Sweet.. JEEP Looks...
Any Info on reasonable Price?

Yes, we use a screw knob. It's just a quarter turn to loosen/tight the plate. This can not get loosed by accident. Vibrations will not loosen it either, just tighten it more if nessesary. And if it just gets knocked, it will not loosen. We have been using a similar system on our ActionCam for years!

Looks pretty good.

What is the weight of AP bridge plate?

 

[Manuel Wenger]

Why are all new baseplates with two locking mechanisms per 19mm Rod, one in front and one in the back. I really love the old ET BP Design, with just one lock per Rod, its so much faster to adjust, and i don´t need that long Rods, and it´s also better to fit it with an Arri Shoulder Mount like the S4. The new designs are colliding with the S4 shoulder pad and you can´t get a good balance on the shoulder.

- 19 and 15mm Rods can be mixed

Hi Manuel

You don't have to lock the ones in the back - your choice. And you can use short rods as well. I think when using heavy lens, long rods and lock-down front/back is better.

And chance for getting a shot of the plate on a RED? Also, does it come with screws to tie it into the camera?

Hi Brian

Have you had released specs for Epic then relating to lense height from bars etc....?

Thanks for the pictures. Looks nice!

I was not able to find the item on your web site- what is it listed under?

Also, forgive my ignorance on this- but is the spacing on the 19mm plate 100mm? So to use a 15mm studio configuration, I would need to get the 19mm to 15mm step down inserts you sell too- correct?

the 19mm spacing is 104mm, we have step-down to 15mm that also offset the distance to 100mm

From the pictures it seems that the whole weight of the camera is resting on the knobs when you put it down with just the baseplate. Or am I missing something?
