Bright Tangerine DJI RS 4/RS 3 LeftField 3 Expert Kit for RED V-RAPTOR Camera

The LeftField 3 Expert Kit for RED V-RAPTOR adds accessory mounting options and compatibility with ARRI-standard dovetails, as well as a 15mm LWS Baseplate. All components fit together seamlessly and can be used to mount accessories from a range of 1/4", 3/8", 15mm rod brackets and ARRI rosettes.

The LeftField 3 Expert Kit is compatible with DJI RS 3 and RS 4 gimbal systems and is made from lightweight anodized aluminum for wear and corrosion resistance.

The LeftField 3 Expert Kit is the best camera cage for RED V-RAPTOR shooters looking to reduce downtime. Attaching to any standard ARRI dovetail, the LeftField Baseplate uses our Open UP quick-release system to seamlessly mount or dismount in moments. Each of the accessory plates - coming with a range of 1/4" and 3/8" screw thread mounting options - is made from anodized aluminum with Helicoil inserts, meaning that you can continuously use this V-RAPTOR kit without fear of wear-and-tear.

Supporting 15mm rods in the 15mm LWS configuration, the LeftField Expert Kit for RED V-RAPTOR is a comprehensive customization kit.

Open UP with LeftField
At the core of the LeftField 3 Baseplate is the dovetail clamp, which uses our Open UP for quick-release capabilities. This means that your camera is secured in place when you need it, but easily released when you don't with the flick of a clamp switch. The LeftField Baseplate can mount to any ARRI-standard dovetail, even those out of tolerance.

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.

DJI Mounting
Sticking with the Baseplate, the seamless versatility of the dovetail is easily expanded on with the included riser and for DJI RS 3 or RS 4 gimbal systems. With these, you can easily dovetail directly to your gimbal. For varied shooting scenarios where you need to quickly change from gimbal to shoulder-mounted to tripod shots, the LeftField 3 Expert Kit helps keep things quick.

Designed for the RED V-RAPTOR
The LeftField 3 Expert Kit is purpose-built for RED V-RAPTOR compatibility, with accessories fitting discreetly to the camera body. The V-RAPTOR Side Plates sit on the side of the camera and provides 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads, along with ARRI-standard rosettes for mounting handgrips or other accessories. The Right Side Horseshoe pairs perfectly with the Side Plate, allowing you to further vary your V-RAPTOR without adding to the camera's compact footprint.

Accessories with Ease
The rest of the LeftField 3 Expert Kit components are just as useful. The purpose-built RED V-RAPTOR Top Plate has a miniature dovetail of its own, meaning that you can slide or entirely remove the central element for quick accessory mounting. Likewise, the Sliding Top Handle allows you to adjust the individual positioning of your handle, and is fully compatible with our Master Handle Extension Set.

Durable and Dependable
For long-lasting performance, each part of the LeftField Expert Kit 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. The ARRI rosettes are CNC-milled for greater grip for your handgrips.

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.

Compatibility
The LeftField 3 Expert Kit for RED V-RAPTOR is compatible with the RED V-RAPTOR, with a number of accessories designed to mount specifically to this camera. The LeftField Baseplate allows the camera to be paired with 15mm LWS setups, as well as mounting to any standard ARRI dovetail.

The remaining components provide 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads; along with ARRI rosettes and 15mm rod brackets.

- DJI RS 4 & RS 3 LeftField 3 QR Baseplate -
Go from tripod to gimbal in seconds with a dual-stage quick-release baseplate on your RED V-RAPTOR. Simply release the top stage to transfer to handheld or DJI RS 4 or RS 3 and the lower stage for any ARRI standard dovetail.

This kit includes the LeftField 3 15mm LWS Universal Baseplate, LeftField Dovetail Plate, DJI RS 4 & RS 3 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 DJI RS 4 & RS 3 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 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.

Compatibility
The DJI gimbal plates ship from the factory with washers of varying thicknesses. While these variations work fine with DJI's own plate, they may cause clearance issues with the Bright Tangerine DJI compatible plates. This is due to the low-profile design of the protruding support and anti-rotation features, which are crucial for securing the camera.

If you are finding that the bottom of the Bright Tangerine DJI plate is hitting the gray clamp lever and preventing fore and aft slide, you can swap the original washer out with the thinner one supplied in this kit. This will lower the gray lever sufficiently to clear the Bright Tangerine DJI plate. Please note, the use of the thinner washer in this kit will not impact the use of any other baseplates on the DJI camera plate.

- Sliding Top Plate -
Add the Top Plate to your RED V-RAPTOR to easily mount accessories & gimbal cross bar mounts.

Quick release the dovetail for faster transitions with full clearance of the RED Monitor Interface & helicoil reinforced threads.

This Top Plate mounts directly to the RED V-RAPTOR and provides a secure surface for rigging accessories like handles & gimbal mounts. It has full clearance for the RED Monitor Interface and is vented to maintain proper airflow for the cooling fans. The top plate attaches to the camera using four screws using a 4mm Hex key

Reliable & Secure
Multiple dovetail plates can be preconfigured to speed up setup changes using the quick release mechanism. The plate features multiple safety mechanisms which prevent any accidental releases.

The dovetail features two safety screws which act as limit stops. In addition to this, a safety eject button must be activated before the clamp can be released to remove the dovetail plate. Finally, an optional dead lock can be used with a 4mm Hex key which secures the dovetail in place, removing any chance of the plate from sliding or moving.

The right side features mounting points for use with B4002.1051 Right Side Horse Shoe.

Reinforced Mounting Points
The dovetail plate features multiple 3/8" anti-twist & 1/4" threaded points which have a hole depth of 10mm preventing any accessories bottoming out & maximizes thread engagement. The central row has been spaced for compatibility with mounting plates for the DJI Ronin 2 & Freefly Movi, with top handle points on each end. These threads have also been helicoil reinforced for added strength.
