The BPS-2 Bridge Plate Sled from ARRI works with a bottom plate to balance your camera as the weight of the rig is changed (plate not included). The BPS-2 offers a lightweight alternative to a studio bridge plate when support rods are not needed.

This sled is compatible with ARRI MBP-3, MBP-1 Pro BP, Canon C100/300/500, Canon 1DX-1DC, Sony FS5/F55, and RED Epic/Scarlet adapter plates. The BPS-2 plate includes 3/8"-16 threaded studs for mounting to a camera.

Q: 6. Would this work with the Bright Tangerine Komodo cage?

A: It is hard to tell because there are a variety of configurations of the Bright Tangerine Cage for the RED Komodo. The ARRI Bridge Plate BP-9 will most likely mount to the bottom of your configuration. However, I recommend using the Bright Tangerine LeftField QR Baseplate for RED KOMODO with Standard Riser/Dovetail. This item will be the most compatible with the rest of your rig and provides the same functionality.

Q: 9. Can I mount this directly to a Red Scarlet W without a baseplate?

Q: 10. What balance plate model number is compatible with the top of this unit?

A: The ARRI CBP-4 Compact Bridge Plate for AMIRA (15mm Studio/15mm LWS) (B&H# ARK2.0019582) does not require a balance plate in order to be used with the ARRI AMIRA Camera Set with Advanced License - The Allrounder (B&H# ARK0.0001091), but it may be attached to a balance plate (which is essentially a cheese plate with very many female threads, i.e. taps, in it) in many places. The two (bridge and balance plates) are typically compatible with each other as long as the balance plate is one made for the specific camera model. However, as of this time (April 2022) B&H does not sell such a plate, nor are we aware of any that is available. That is likely because the AMIRA actually balances very well without one when a typical V-mount or Gold mount battery is installed behind it.
