Developed around SHAPE’s 15 mm LWS system, the SHAPE Ultra-Light Baseplate offers full compatibility with industry-standard rods, allowing follow focuses, matte boxes, lens supports, and other essential accessories to be mounted with precise alignment. The baseplate includes a pair of 10-inch rods. Designed for speed and stability, it features a universal ARCA Swiss-compatible mounting system, allowing quick transitions between tripod, gimbal, handheld, and slider configurations without disrupting the setup. An optical center locking pin ensures that the camera locks precisely on the optical axis every time, preventing unwanted movement and maintaining the ideal lens height for mounted accessories. A rear locking lever provides additional security by clamping the camera cage or body from the back, keeping everything firmly in place even during dynamic shoots. Despite its robust construction, the setup remains ultra-lightweight, minimizing strain on the rig while maximizing performance. Ideal for professional production rigs or compact mobile setups, this baseplate provides the durability, alignment precision, and mounting versatility SHAPE is known for.
