With SHAPE's Sony FS7M2 V-Lock Quick Release Baseplate you can build a 15mm LWS rig around your FS7 or FS7M2 camera. The included 15mm rods enable you to mount a matte box, follow focus, lens support or other production accessory. Since the plate is designed for the FS7, correct lens height is ensured for correct accessory clearance. A rear insert plate is included to support the raised rear portion of the FS7 body, increasing the surface area of the camera base.

The mounting points on the bottom of the baseplate itself can secure to a standard VCT-14 quick release tripod plate. When not locked down, the shoulder pad provides cushioned support for handheld shooting. Touch-fastener on the shoulder pad allows easy removal for cleaning or replacement.

Further handheld options can be introduced using the rosettes towards the front of the baseplate. Separately available handgrips, like the SHAPE Telescoping Handles can be secured directly to the baseplate for increased stability. Separately available 15mm rods can also be attached at the rear of the plate using the 15mm Rod Bloc (also available separately).

Q: 8. Does it fit only the C500 or is it compatible with the URSA Mini pro?

A: The Shape Baseplate says it's for the Canon c500 because it is made to be used with the Shape c500 cage. You could use this baseplate with the URSA Mini pro, but it only has 1/4 20" screw holds under the camera, and this baseplate comes with one 1/4 20" and one 3/8 16" screws. I would use two 1/4 20" screws to attach the c500.

A: The Tilta Quick Release Baseplate for Sony FX6 provides two screw insert spots to connect your camera. One of the inserts will fit a 3/8"-16 screw, while the other one fits a 1/4"-20 screw.

Q: 10. Can you mount the camera to this baseplate using the center screws, shifting the camera back an inch or so, similar to the zacuto baseplate?

A: Just be aware that you will likely go through the adjustment game forever if using the shoulder mount for anything off of sticks. I know they sell an accessory wedge to place under the rear of the camera. Might be worth looking into if you are for sure going to change the screw placement.
