Purpose and Fit

The Kondor Blue Top U-Plate in Raven Black is a dedicated accessory for the RED V-RAPTOR camcorder. It provides a secure mounting platform that maintains full access to the camera’s essential ports and controls. The lightweight construction adds only 85 grams to the rig, making it suitable for operators who prioritise handheld comfort during long shooting days. It is not intended for cameras other than the V-RAPTOR or for users who require a full cage enclosure.

Mounting and Handling

Dual NATO rails with built-in safety stops offer secure attachment points for compatible accessories while preventing accidental release. The plate includes multiple 1/4"-20 and ARRI 3/8"-16 threads for mounting monitors, lights, or microphones in various orientations. Accessory wings accept Kondor Blue Mini Quick Releases and wireless transmitters, keeping the setup organised. An integrated bubble level assists with horizon alignment without adding bulk.

Sustained Use

The high-grade materials and Raven Black finish resist wear in demanding production environments, supporting reliable performance across repeated rigging cycles. Threaded mounts and NATO rails retain their tolerance after frequent accessory changes, reducing the risk of loosening under vibration. The minimal weight helps prevent operator fatigue when the camera is shoulder-mounted or on a gimbal for extended takes. The plate lacks integrated cable management channels, so users running multiple power or video cables may need separate routing solutions.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Top U-Plate on my RED V-RAPTOR and what step do people often miss?

Fasten the plate to the camera's top mounting points using the 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threads, then engage the dual NATO rails and verify the integrated bubble level is centred — the level check is the step most often skipped.

What maintenance or replacement will this U-Plate need over time?

The Raven Black finish resists wear, but periodically inspect the 1/4"-20 and ARRI 3/8"-16 threads for debris and confirm the NATO rail safety stops still lock positively; no scheduled replacement is required.

What limit appears first during sustained heavy use of this plate?

At 85 g the plate adds negligible mass, so the practical limit is the load capacity of the 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads and NATO rails when multiple heavy accessories are mounted simultaneously.
