Baseplate for Cinema and Mirrorless Cameras

This Camvate baseplate fits Canon C100, C300 and C500 models alongside Sony FS7 and A7 series bodies. It connects to the camera using 3/8-16 and 1/4-20 screw threads for a secure lock. The plate serves as a rigid foundation that reduces unwanted movement during handheld or rigged operation. Aluminium alloy construction withstands daily production use.

For 15 mm Rod Systems and Multi-Camera Owners

Videographers building rigs around standard 15 mm rods with 60 mm centre spacing can attach follow-focus units, matte boxes or lens supports directly to the front rod holes. Operators who need to switch between the listed Canon and Sony bodies without changing plates benefit from the shared hole pattern. Shooters using cameras without these mounting threads or a different rod standard should look elsewhere.

15 mm Rod Spacing at 60 mm Centres

The baseplate provides a pair of 15 mm diameter rod holes spaced 60 mm apart, which is the single dimension that determines accessory compatibility. If your follow focus, matte box or lens support clamps to 15 mm rods at that spacing, the plate will accept it. Any accessory requiring a different rod diameter or centre distance cannot be mounted on this plate.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the baseplate to the camera using the 1/4-20 and 3/8-16 threads?

Align the baseplate with the camera's tripod socket, then thread the 3/8-16 screw first for primary hold; add the 1/4-20 screw to prevent rotation. The step people miss is tightening both screws evenly so the plate cannot pivot under load.

What maintenance will the 15 mm rod clamps and silvery wingnuts need over time?

Periodically check the wingnuts for thread wear and the 15 mm rod holes for ovalisation; clean any grit from the clamp surfaces and re-torque the wingnuts to keep accessories from shifting.

At what point does the 60 mm rod spacing limit accessory placement?

The fixed 60 mm centre-to-centre spacing means any follow focus, matte box or lens support must match that distance; wider or narrower rigs cannot be mounted directly to the front rod holes.
