Bright Tangerine Sliding Top Plate Mk II for Sony VENICE 1 and 2

Experience clean rigging at the highest level with our Sliding Top Plate for the Sony VENICE and Sony VENICE 2. Coming in two core components - a dovetail plate and a lever-operated mounting core - both are covered in 1/4" and 3/8" for easy rigging of any accessories. Also including a 15mm Front Rod Console, the Sliding Top Plate is ideal for setting up your VENICE for even the most complex shots.

Check out our new and improved Sliding Top Plate for the Sony VENICE and Sony VENICE 2: which features a removeable dovetail for quick customization of your VENICE camera. Locked and unlocked via a single lever, this new Top Plate gives you both high functionality and a compact form factor. Both the dovetail and the Top Plate core are covered in 1/4" and 3/8" anti-twist threads; making it ideal for lower-profile setups.

Quick Customization
The major advantage of the VENICE Sliding Top Plate over conventional camera plates is how easy it is to adjust: rather than deconstructing your setup every time, release the locking lever and slide the entire dovetail plate out. Once you've added, adjusted or removed any accessories, simply slide it back into place and get the clapperboard ready.

Expanded Rigging
Our new and improved Top Plate gives you more accessory mounting options. We've extended the length of the dovetail plate to 147mm, giving you an even greater range of 1/4" and 3/8" screw threads for rigging. And of course, each one is fitted with locating pin threads to ensure a tight hold on monitor arms, handles or anything else you need to mount to the VENICE.

Rod Rigging
For adding EVFs or lens supports, the VENICE Sliding Top Plate comes with a front-mounted 15mm rod console. The height can be adjusted up and down - the dovetail plate can even pass over rod console at the lowest setting, to help with balance - to work with larger or smaller lenses. It can also be set to the 15mm LWS standard height for maximized compatibility.

Low-Profile
The Sliding Top Plate is a clean addition to any VENICE build: from minimal rigs to complex cine builds. It mounts discreetly to the top of the VENICE camera body, with the core unit featuring cutouts to help with heat dispersion. There are dedicated mounts for standard 1/4"-20 Top Handles, as well as rigging points for the two new Side Plates and a sensor plane hook on both the left and right.

A Lifetime of Quality
With an investment as long-term as the Sony VENICE, pair it with a Top Plate that will last just as long. Made from aerospace-grade aluminum, the Top Plate's trio of parts are all lightweight, durable and versatile - for guaranteed performance for years to come.

Part of the Sony VENICE System
Expand the possibilities of your Sony setup: our range of accessories for both the Sony VENICE and VENICE 2 allow you to create versatile rigs for any shooting scenario. From cinematic narratives to run-and-gun content creation, cut the complicated from your next shoot.

Compatibility
The Sony VENICE 1 & 2 Sliding Top Plate Mk II is compatible with both the Sony VENICE and the Sony VENICE 2: mounting to the same rigging points on both cameras. It is compatible with the original VENICE Top Plate, though both the mounting core and dovetail plate are longer in the newer model to cover the full extent of the VENICE body.

The Sliding Top Plate is compatible with the new left and right Side Plates or the VENICE, and the Top Plate is required for mounting them.
