Unified Baseplate (Alexa Mini / Mini LF)

DISCONTINUED This item has been discontinued and is no longer stocked.

Unified Baseplate (Alexa Mini / Mini LF) is a quick release baseplate that provides lightweight 15mm rod support at the correct lens height. 15mm rods pass through front to back and have two locking thumbscrews per side. This baseplate can also be purchased as a set with the cage components here: Unified Cage (Alexa Mini) / Unified Cage (Alexa Mini LF). The baseplate quick releases in two ways, giving the user the option to take the 15mm lightweight rods or to leave them behind.

To remove the camera and leave the LW 15mm rods behind, unlock the right side thumbscrew, slide the camera backwards a short distance, and lift straight up. The dovetail attached to the bottom of the camera is an ARCA Swiss standard shape which can integrate with many third party products. Additionally, there are threaded 1/4-20 holes on the bottom for attaching to gimbals or tripod plates when necessary. Also on this upper dovetail is a vertical 15mm rod opening which can be used to support a lens adapter foot directly in front of the camera body.

The bottom of the baseplate is comprised of the Lower Quick Dovetail which has 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threaded holes for attaching to tripod plate or ARRI standard bridgeplate such as Unified Bridgeplate (19mm) or Unified Bridgeplate (15mm Studio). To remove the camera from the included Lower Quick Dovetail and take the 15mm lightweight rods with you, unlock the left thumbscrew, slide the baseplate backwards a short distance, and lift up. This action exposes an integrated ARRI dovetail slot on the bottom which can attach directly to any 2060 Dovetails, Safety Dovetails, or Shoulder Rigs.

For VCT-14 compatible mounting options, the Unified Baseplate can be attached to the Unified VCT Wedge Plate, providing easy counterbalance ability while on the shoulder. This could then be attached to the Unified VCT-14 Tripod Plate which would be attached to the tripod head.

Additional Unified Lower Quick Dovetails can be puchased to mount to gimbals, jibs, cranes, etc, making for quick and repeatable camera transitions.

** The Unified Baseplate is backwards compatible with our original Quick Dovetail (Standard) and Quick Dovetail (DSLR, Large) **
