Bright Tangerine LeftField 3 Base Kit for RED V-RAPTOR Camera

The LeftField 3 Base Kit for RED V-RAPTOR provides a 15mm LWS Baseplate with a quick-release mechanism that can mount to any ARRI dovetail. It also provides a sliding Top Plate that fits discreetly to the V-RAPTOR, with an internal dovetail for quick adjustments.

Lightweight and made from anodized aluminum for durability, the Base Kit is a long-lasting and versatile camera cage for RED V-RAPTOR shooters.

Top and Bottom Dovetails
Dovetail systems are one of the most convenient mounting options in the entire filmmaking industry, and our LeftField 3 Base Kit provides two of them. The LeftField Baseplate uses our Open UP system for quick-release convenience, mounting to any standard ARRI dovetail - even those out of tolerance. Meanwhile, the Sliding Top Plate also features a central dovetail plate that can be quickly removed: allowing you to adjust attachments without disassembling your entire rig.

15mm LWS Compatibility
The LeftField Baseplate also adds the option to mount support rods in the 15mm LWS configuration; for the additional mounting of follow-focus motors, matte boxes and more. If you need to adjust the weight distribution of your rig, then this provides a great alternative to mounting directly to your camera or lens - preventing damage to either.

Built to Last
For long-lasting performance, each part of the LeftField Base Kit for RED V-RAPTOR is designed and engineered to the highest quality standards. Made from anodized aluminum, each component is resistant to wear and corrosion; and the internals of the screw threads are fitted with stainless steel Helicoil inserts to prevent stripping or binding.

Part of the LeftField System
For unmatched versatility, the LeftField 3 system makes camera mounting effortless. Mount your camera to any ARRI dovetail and secure it in place with ease. When you need to release it again, our Open UP mechanism makes it seamless and speedy. Compatible with a range of camera makes and models, you're sure to find the right setup no matter the shoot.
