The ARRI Bottom Dovetail Plate 450mm/18in is a precision-engineered support component designed for professional cinematography. This extended 18-inch plate is specifically tailored for camera setups utilizing medium zoom lenses or complex rigs that require a greater range of travel for perfect balancing on tripod heads.
Efficiency on set is prioritized through a dual-sided release system. With spring-loaded release buttons located at both ends, operators can slide the camera onto the plate from either the front or the rear. For high-intensity shooting environments, integrated safety threads on each side allow for the installation of additional security screws, which are conveniently stored in dedicated parking positions when not required.
Key features of this professional dovetail plate include:
Optimized Weight: Advanced machining ensures the plate remains lightweight without compromising structural integrity.
Universal Mounting: Features an array of 1/4-20" and 3/8-16" mounting holes for compatibility with various support systems.
Secure Handling: Robust locking mechanisms and safety stops prevent accidental slippage during rapid transitions.
Whether configuring a studio build or a mobile rig, the ARRI 450mm Bottom Dovetail Plate provides the stability and flexibility needed for precise camera positioning.
