About Bright Tangerine Manfrotto QR Baseplate

Add a dual-stage quick-release base to your RED V-RAPTOR. Simply release the top stage to transfer to handheld or a compatible gimbal with a Manfrotto 501PL receiver and the lower stage for any ARRI standard dovetail.

This kit includes the LeftField 3 15mm LWS Universal Baseplate, LeftField Dovetail Plate, Manfrotto dovetail & riser for the RED V-RAPTOR.

This Bright Tangerine baseplate kit is designed for RED V-RAPTOR users wanting to add the Quick-Release 15mm LWS Baseplate with support for 15mm rods. The top stage releases the Manfrotto 501PL standard dovetail, so you can quickly transition to a smaller handheld build or load directly onto compatible gimbals. The lower stage allows you to securely lock off the camera onto any ARRI standard balance plate.

The whole kit combined is extremely light-weight & low profile, which keeps all of your V-RAPTOR builds, nimble and compact.

Unique Open Up Quick Release System
The Baseplate kit features our patented Open Up Quick-Release system that lets you slide, lock & vertically release the camera from any ARRI standard balance plate, or the included low profile dovetail plate.

LeftField 3 System
Customize your camera build with the extensive selection of accessories in the LeftField system. Letting you create the right setup for each and every task.

This kit has been updated to LeftField 3 and is not compatible with LeftField 2 accessories.

No Compromise
Every part of the LeftField System is machined from single aluminum-alloy billets to create extremely rigid and light weight components. All of which play perfectly to the strengths of the RED V-RAPTOR.

Absolutely no compromise has been made in our manufacturing process. Our engineering is focused on creating products that are both high-performance and enabled with a longer life of service. Combine that with unparalleled level of Bright Tangerine support, and your LeftField V-RAPTOR System becomes the most reliable and hard-working partnership that any filmmaker could wish for.


- LeftField 3 15mm LWS Quick Release Baseplate Core -
Upgrade your production with the LeftField 3 15mm LWS Quick Release Baseplate Core, streamlining your filming workflow and helping you accomplish more in less time.

Add a riser for your compatible camera and securely lock onto any ARRI standard balance plate or dovetail.

With support for 15mm rod support, you can outfit your camera for any cinematic challenge.

Upgrade your production with the LeftField 3 15mm LWS Quick Release Baseplate Core, streamlining your filming workflow and helping you accomplish more in less time.

Vertical Lift Off
Feel secure with our patented Open Up quick release system, providing the confidence that your camera will remain safely and securely locked off, with no danger of it slipping or falling off.

The lever has three positions - locked, slide & release.
• When the lever is in its rearmost position, the bridgeplate locks firmly into place
• Position the lever to the midpoint, allowing you to shift your bridgeplate along the balance plate with ease
• To release the camera, press the safety eject button on the lever and adjust the lever to its forward position

Accessory Mounting
The baseplate offers a secure and sturdy foundation for mounting accessories on 15mm rods, including lens supports, focus motors, matte boxes, hand grips and more. When you pair our Drumstix rods with the bridgeplate, you'll get a combination of strength and lightweight performance that can't be beaten.

The sides feature mounting points for compatible side plates and the rear has mounting points for the LeftField 3 KASBAH Shoulder Pad.

British Workmanship
Machined and hand-finished in our single factory in Church Crookham from high-grade materials. Hard anodized for extended durability.

Features
• Compatible with multiple camera systems using LeftField risers, setting correct 15mm LWS height and spacing
• Safe and reliable Open UP quick release system
• Compatible with LeftField 3 & ARRI standard balance plates
• Compatible with KASBAH shoulder pad
• Mounts onto any ARRI standard bottom plate & LeftField 3 balance plates


- Manfrotto Riser -
Set the RED V-RAPTOR to the correct height when using the Left Field 15mm LWS Baseplate with the Manfrotto or DJI RS 4 & 3 riser, when paired with the RED V-Raptor Manfrotto or DJI RS 4 & RS 3 dovetails.

The quick release allows for fast transitions between tripod, handheld & gimbal work without needing to change plates.

This interchangeable riser combines with LeftField 15mm LWS Baseplates and acts as a receiver for compatible Manfrotto & DJI dovetails.

The riser sets the RED V-RAPTOR at the correct height for 15mm LWS standards in combination with the dovetails. The quick release clamp enables fast transitions between setups.

Reliable & Safe
The riser comes preinstalled with the Ratchet Lock Lever which can be swapped out for the low profile locking screw.

The screw option requires a 4mm Hex key to securely tighten down the clamp with a higher force than a lever. Swapping out the lever removes the risk of it being knocked during operation.

When removing the dovetail, the safety is required to be pressed before the camera can be released.

Compatible with DJI RS 4 & RS 3 Gimbal Plates plus Manfrotto 501PL
The receiver is compatible with our Manfrotto & DJI RS gimbal dovetails. When using other plates, the height may vary resulting in non-standard heights.

Extra Care Comes Standard
Machined and hand-finished in our single factory in Church Crookham from high-grade materials. Hard anodized for extended durability.

Features
• Sets RED V-RAPTOR to 15mm LWS height standards when using Bright Tangerine Manfrotto & DJI RS 4 & RS 3 dovetails
• Compatible with any Manfrotto 501PL & DJI RS Plates (height may vary between plates)
• Interchangeable with other LeftField Baseplate Risers
• Includes Ratchet Lock Lever & Space Saving Locking Screw options to secure dovetail


- Universal Extended Manfrotto Dovetail -
Mount your camera on the LeftField Manfrotto Dovetail to quick release between the LeftField 15mm LWS Baseplate, Manfrotto 501PL receivers and compatible gimbals.

Lens adapters can be supported using the included 3/8" or 1/4" screws.

This dovetail mounts onto your camera and lets you quickly switch between the LeftField 15mm LWS Baseplate to gimbal or handheld in seconds. It also lets you mount the camera directly onto Manfrotto 501PL standard tripods and receivers.

Universal Fit
The dovetail includes three camera mounting screws (two 3/8-16" & a 1/4-20"). Using the three captive screws on the captive shuttle, the camera can be securely mounted with no twisting or movement.

The channel allows the camera to be balanced on the plate for weight distribution with the extra width providing added stability while removing any flex.

The screws can be removed when not required for smaller cameras with one or two mounting points.

Manfrotto 501PL Compatible
The dovetail uses the commonly used Manfrotto 501PL standard. Mount directly onto Manfrotto, Sachtler fluid heads and more that use the 501PL standard. Laser etched markers along the length of the dovetail let ACs mark down balanced positions on the gimbal.

When paired with our LeftField Manfrotto quick release risers, the camera is set at the correct height for 15mm LWS support & accessories.

Support For Accessories
Lens adapters can be secured using the front channel and supplied screws. Depending on the camera height, not all lens feet will be compatible or require spacers.

Features
• Compatible with any camera, 501PL receivers & compatible gimbals
• Slides onto LeftField 15mm LWS Baseplates with compatible Manfrotto risers
• 144mm length provides ample fore/aft range with racking gear
• Shuttle slides fore/aft to balance the camera and keep screws captive
• Wide platform for extra stability with rubber pads for grip


- Left Field ARRI Dovetail Plate -

The LeftField ARRI Dovetail Plate is a multipurpose quick release plate featuring multiple 1/4", 3/8" & ARRI Accessory Mounts.

The low profile plate is based on the ARRI standard dovetail and acts as a quick release plate for a camera setup using the LeftField 15mm LWS Baseplate making the transition going from tripod to handheld much quicker.

When used with the LeftField Sliding Top Plates, the Dovetail plate provides a mounting surface for other accessories like the carrying handle and Titan Arm quick release brackets.

Two removable safety screws prevent the plate from sliding out of the receiving accessory. These two screws can also be mounted on the right side of the plate to fix the dovetail plate into position.

The LeftField ARRI Dovetail Plate can also snap in and out by releasing the Dovetail clamp further. This is especially handy if you have other accessories mounted onto your camera setup which can obstruct the camera package from sliding on and off the plate.

Features

• Ability for fine adjustment of counter balance
• Multiple 1/4", 3/8" & ARRI Accessory Mounts
