I am looking for a baseplate that I can mount any/many camera(s) onto it.
I own a T2i DSLR that I shoot my own films with.
But, I also use a number of various cameras on gigs and at school.
I need something that I can use for multiple cameras, without needing multiple baseplates.
(DSLR, Red One/Scarlet, etc)
This is the best set-up I could find so far;
Easy Riser XLhttp://x.corecommerce.com/RED/Camera-Support-RED/Easy-Riser-XL.html
LW 15mm Brackethttp://x.corecommerce.com/RED/Camera-Support-RED/LW-15mm-Bracket.html
This will allow me to mount the Easy Riser to a tripod and use it for the RED cameras.
For a DSLR, I would need to mount the LW 15mm Bracket upside down. And because the rod distance isnt sufficient enough, Id need an additional riser, such as the Zacuto Z-Spacerhttp://store.zacuto.com/Z-Spacer.html
This is the best baseplate I could find that would work with the RED & DSLR cameras. BUT, here's another issue;
If the LW 15mm Bracket is mounted upside down, the Easy Riser would have to be mounted at the very edge of my tripod. The camera would also have to be mounted at the edge of the plate. Now, everything is front heavy.
I would need some kind of a cheese plate similar to this: http://x.corecommerce.com/RED/Camera-Support-RED/Easy-Top-Module-Adapter.html that can mount to the bottom of the Easy Riser. It cannot be too wide because the rods need to extend back, and it needs to be thick enough to be higher than the 15mm bracket, when flipped.
I dont believe this will work because the hole spacing looks different and I dont think its thick enough
What do I get?
With a cheeseplate underneath, I can then mount it at the back of my tripod and then the rig can be balanced then.
Its a similar issue with the Zacuto Studio Baseplate for Scarlet & Epic Cameras: http://store.zacuto.com/Studio-Baseplate-for-SE.html
This is a very similar set-up as the Easy Riser & 15mm bracket.
Its just a matter of finding some kind of a cheeseplate design to be mounted underneath the plate.
