Simplify using your camera with cine-style accessories with this Wooden Camera Lightweight 15mm Baseplate for the Panasonic LUMIX BGH1 camera. Featuring an Arca-type-compatible plate that you mount your camera on, this then slides into the top of the baseplate, which has two integrated 15mm rod clamps that provide the correct rod center to lens mount center and height. They also comply with the LWS standard for your cinema-style lens accessories, such as available follow focus units, lens control motors, and matte boxes.

The baseplate has a machined dovetail on the bottom, making it compatible with ARRI standard dovetail plates, and a built-in locking lever clamps the baseplate onto the dovetail plate to secure your camera. An included quick dovetail plate conforms to the ARRI dovetail standard, allowing you to mount it to a tripod head or other support platform and then mount the baseplate to that, enabling you to use this system with a standard tripod without having to source additional components.

The top and bottom mounting plate systems allow you to easily remove the camera from the baseplate when rods and rod mounted accessories aren't required, or leave the camera mounted on the baseplate so you can carry it, the camera, and your rods plus optional lens accessories as a single unit.

The Arca-type-compatible quick release plate has an integrated clamp for attaching an optional lens support. An integrated safety release in the baseplate helps prevent you from accidentally releasing the plate.
