Bright Tangerine Unity Drop-In NATO Quick Release Lock System

The Unity Drop-In Lock lets you mount the most basic or complex camera components: from a basic cheese plate all the way up to a LiDAR transceiver. All you need is the right mounting layout. With screws and threads built-in, the Unity system accommodates any and all camera gear without breaking a sweat.

A tiny widget with a big promise. That's the Unity Drop-In Lock in a nutshell: a tiny set of NATO accessories, but one that gives you endless rigging possibilities. With our unique Drop-In design that makes mounting easier than ever, and adjustable mounting options that are compatible with just about anything, the Unity system is ready for whatever your rig needs.

Keep It Together
The Drop-In Lock comes in two distinct parts: a NATO Clamp, and a NATO Rail. Each has built in magnets that attract to one another, giving you that oh-so-satisfying click into place. Once it's in place, the auto-clamping design keeps the Rail in place - just use the lever to fully secure it.

Anything, Anywhere
The Unity system has a unique combination of screws, threads and adaptors that make it capable of mounting to any part of your camera rig. Choose from a 1/4" screw, a 1/4" thread, a 3/8" screw or a 3/8" thread - along with multiple anti-twist options to suit all of the above. So whether you're hooking it up to a Cheese Plate or bridging the gap between builds, the Clamp is up for anything.

Find the Right Angle
Most NATO rails are limited to side-loading, meaning you have to slide it into place - and if you haven't got easy line-of-sight, that is more difficult than it sounds. The Unity Lock can be loaded top-down as well as from the side, which when coupled with the auto-locking mechanism and magnetic guidance means that you'll be able to safely secure your rig at any time. Who needs line-of-sight? You could load NATO rails practically blindfolded.

Quick-Release Convenience
Of course, if you wanted rock-solid support, you'd just screw your gear into place. Securing your setup is easy, but what sets the Unity system apart is the ability to release it at the push of a button. There's a built-in safety stop to prevent any unwanted drops - or you can store it within the Clamp if you want to live a little dangerously.

Set-Ready
Don't make the same mistake once. Our camera gear is made from single-cut billet aluminum; hard-anodized and laser-engraved. If you were more humanities than STEM at school, then that means that both parts of the Unity system are ultra-strong: protected from the worst sets and the clumsiest ACs.

Part of the Universal Accessories System
Bright Tangerine's Universal Camera Accessories are - appropriately - designed to be universal. Capable of being used on practically any camera system or rig construction, these accessories are ideal for filmmaking professionals at any level: from run-and-gun videography to high-budget cinematic filmmaking.
