NICEYRIG Tripod Base Plate with 15mm rod clamp 📷
Reviews
Product description
This tripod base plate with an integrated 15mm rod clamp provides a compact and stable foundation for DSLR camera rigs and small cinema setups. It combines a low-profile mounting plate and dual 15mm rail blocks to add accessory support while keeping balance and alignment for follow focus, matte box or battery systems.
Key Points
The plate attaches directly to the camera, cage or tripod and offers standard mounting options for common setups. It includes threaded holes for 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screws, allowing direct connection to most tripods and quick release systems. The dual rail blocks keep 15mm rods parallel and aligned for smoother accessory installation. 📷
Rubber anti-slip pads on the top surface help prevent camera abrasion and limit rotation on the plate during handling. The spacing of the central holes is 35 mm, which fits many baseplates that follow ARRI bridge standards and also works with some Manfrotto plates. This makes it useful when swapping between shoulder rigs and tripod bases. 🔩
Consider that the product is primarily a mechanical support element. It adds stability and standardised mounting points, but it does not include rods or additional accessories. Depending on the camera and rig used, longer rods or extra support brackets may be required for heavier loads.
Technical Specifications
- Name: NICEYRIG Tripod Base Plate Mounting Plate with 15mm Rod Clamp
- Rod system: 15 mm dual rail blocks
- Threaded mounts: 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16
- Central hole spacing: 35 mm
- Surface finish: rubber pads for scratch protection
Usage Recommendations
Attach the plate to your camera or cage using the appropriate 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 screw, then slide the 15mm rods through the rail blocks to mount accessories. For follow focus units and matte boxes, set the rod height and length first, then tighten the rod clamp screws to secure alignment. When moving between tripod and shoulder rigs, confirm the plate aligns with your existing bridge plate or Manfrotto-style base plate to ensure consistent balance. 🎬
In practice, this base plate is handy for photographers and videographers who need a straightforward way to add rod-mounted accessories without redesigning their core support. Also check component compatibility if you plan to carry heavier lenses or larger accessories, because additional support may be necessary according to the manufacturer.
