The DSLR Kirk Neff Baseplate 2.0 from SHAPE is a 15mm rod baseplate designed for DSLR cameras that utilizes a standard V-lock quick-release system. The quick-release plate provides a 1/4"-20 threaded camera screw and has rubber stoppers at the back to prevent your camera from twisting during operation. The rubber stoppers can be adjusted and removed using the included hex key. For alignment and balance adjustments, the V-lock delta adapter on the bottom of the quick-release plate can be also adjusted forward/backward, and the camera screw can be placed in a front or rear position - using appropriate hex keys.

The baseplate itself features two 15mm rod ports with thumbscrews. It's design places the optical center of camera between the two rods and places the lens at a height suitable for use with a matte box. A pair of 8" aluminum rods come included.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can you make this a non-offset shoulder rig if you wanted, with just one set of rods? The reason I ask is if I could use the offset for my c100 (rear monitor) or one set of rods on my shoulder for c300 (different monitor).

A: Hi Bobby, Thanks to use SHAPE products on your camera system. If you already have an OFFSET shoulder rig for the C-100 you can just buy a pair of 18 inches rods and you'll able to transform your rig into one set to use with C-300 camera. To do so, you have to take off the OFFSET bracket and to add the rods so that you'll have the new configuration ready to use with your Canon C-300. But if you're looking for a straight rig (in line configuration) SHAPE already have one that you can buy.

Q: 8. I was at the 2015 NAB Show, and I'm almost certain I saw one of these with a Canon C100 Mark II mounted on it. Is that possible? Is there an additional plate needed for that? I don't remember seeing one, but just wanted to make sure before I pursued purchasing one of these.

A: I'm only familiar with it in the fs7.

Q: 9. Is the pad on the back weighted to provide balance with the camera on the front?

A: It is not. You would need to add a counterweight.

Q: 10. This product photo shows the back shoulder pad extension, does that come with this rig package? And also If I buy the counterweight separate, how does it go onto the rig?

A: Hi Mitchel ,yes the shoulder pad extension come with the rig, if you use any C series camera you need to buy the counterweight sold separately. The pad extension that come with the rig is just plastic and with the camera mounted on the rig you will face some unbalancing problem. With the optional counterweight you will solve all the balance problems. The rig will be a little bit heavy but is ok. Regarding the mounting for both the original and the optional shoulder pad hare tail mounted on the back of the rig true a butterfly screw and a washer. Hope this information help you to chose the right gear for your camera. Happy filming.Daniele
