Questions & Answers

Shopper : In the description, it says that it attaches to a VCT-U14 tripod plate? Is this correct? Can it attach to a VCT-14 tripod plate as well (no "U")?
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?PATRICK D : Deeper shoulder groove helps my camera not slide when I’m tilting down. Shape matters more than just a name.JEFF A : Great reviews

Shoulder plate

By jeff A.

Great plate. I use it all the time.

The VCT Universal Shoulder Base Plate, a groundbreaking product from 8Sinn, is designed to meet the diverse needs of filmmakers. This universal base plate is compatible with a wide range of camera models including Sony FS7/FS7II/FS5/FS5M2, Blackmagic URSA Mini, Canon C100, Canon C200, Panasonic EVA-1, and many more, making it a versatile addition to any filmmaker's toolkit.

Constructed with precision, the 8Sinn Shoulder Base Plate serves as a robust and integrated system for your camera rig. It features strategically placed blocking points on the main body to prevent the Manfrotto 501PLONG plate from being lifted off, ensuring secure and stable camera mounting.

The base plate boasts a dual rod section with 15mm rod openings at both the front and back, each with its own adjustment system. This allows for separate regulation and flexibility in setting up your rig.

A key feature of the 8Sinn Shoulder Plate is the VCT-U14 Mount, compatible with VCT-U14 tripod adapter plates. This feature facilitates quick and easy attachment and detachment from the tripod, making it ideal for scenarios requiring frequent shoulder pad position changes.

The upper movable plate is a standard Manfrotto 501PLONG quick release video camera plate, designed for swift camera attachment and detachment. It's crafted from lightweight aluminum with rubber pads on top to prevent unwanted friction.

For added convenience, the base plate includes a key compartment placed under the plate, useful for tightening rods and positioning the rod mount section.

The VCT Universal Shoulder Base Plate also features a comfortable, contoured, and detachable shoulder pad, designed to alleviate the discomfort of camera weight during shooting. The pad is magnetically attached to the base plate and offers four-level regulation, contributing to overall balance.

The 15mm rod mount section is a significant part of the base plate, offering three levels of height adjustment to accommodate different types of lenses. An innovative upside-down mounting option increases the segment height range.

The base plate is designed with operator comfort in mind, featuring 1/4" threaded mounting points on both sides and two ARRI Standard 32mm Rosettes, making it suitable for all accessories in the same standard. The 8Sinn VCT Universal Shoulder Base Plate is a comprehensive solution for filmmakers seeking versatility, stability, and comfort in their equipment.
