Arri or ET dovetail/brideplate

[Paul Steinberg]

I'm just putting together a Red package and will need a dovetail/bridge-plate between the camera and my 2575 head. Element Technica have their Arri style set but I've been looking though the Arri catalog and don't see any configurations for Red One/Epic. I'd also be looking for a hand held rig, ET have Mantis, Arri have shoulder-mount set.

Is there a BP/DT set from Arri (which part numbers?) or are ET the main show in town?

You can get Red One compatible Bridge Plates from Element Technica, Chrosziel, ActionProducts, AllStar and Sim Video. They are all advertisers on this forum and each have their particularities. AFAIK Arri doesn't make a Red compatible BP.

Arri bridgeplate will have incorrect lens centreing for Red, which is why ET brought their stuff out.

Hey Paul,

what Eric point out above, is also one of the reasons why I suggested the ET Hybrid Bridge Plate, its Arri
standard, but modified to perfectly work with the Red One, and will also continue to be a great solution for the
Epic and Scarlett, further more this new version has interchangeable clamps for both 15mm and 19mm.

I don't like the hybrid, I find the two interchangeable champs on both ends subpar than the 19mm ET, or the 15mm ET bridgeplate center more robust clamp. That's why I bought both for a little more, but find it a better build, sturdier than the hybrid

Much thanks! I was scrounging all though the Arri catalogs looking for a non-existent Red baseplate.

Which bit is subpar? Haven't had any problems with my 19mm hybrid, although I wish it had shipped with ET ratchet bolts instead of Red ones.

Subpar was a poor choice of words. I find the bigger center clamp on both the 19mm and 15mm ET non hybrid more appealing.
