Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

I used this to replace the Jag35 baseplate and couldn't be happier. It's pricier than I would have liked, but it's extremely durable and the fact that (along with the DSLR Mini Tripod Platform) I can just pop it off my rig without having to take anything apart is priceless to me.

Another a disappointing item from Red Rock - but looks good online.
I had a deadline 2 camera shoot coming up - ordered this item - then discovered it wouldn't mount to a tripod without another Red Rock accessory !

- what !? - that's what a " Riser " is for !!!

This is like screwdriver with a round end ...

- do not buy this item.

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

There are many DSLR baseplates, most of which don't address the single biggest problem of mounting your SLR to rods and accessories: the weak single point of contact via the 1/4" tripod hole. Redrock addresses this with a simple set screw that prevents the camera from swiveling and thus keeps the entire rig from loosening and falling off the camera. The hardware is rock solid and compact, and the price is more than reasonable. The one disadvantage is a lack of adjustable height, which may cause issues with accessories (like israeli arms) fitting under lenses, etc.

I use this base plate with my Canon 7d, the quick release makes it easy to swap camera between shoulder rig and tripod rail set up without removing camera from base plate...

Build is amazing. Much easier to work with after struggling with cheaper DSLR configurations (IndieSystem, etc).

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

I can't say anything bad about this product. It's well engineered and works like a charm.

I originally bought it to provide some height to my GH2 because the indian manufactured matte box I have is too big and extended below my rails set up. Unfortunately this baseplate didn't quite give me all the height I needed, but I'm keeping it anyway. I'll figure out something else for the mattebox.

I use this with my Nikon D7000, but it will work with any DSLR and Redrock rig. Quality material and craftsmanship and super easy to connect. Highest recommendation.

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

It's sturdy and built to last -- well almost.

Fit it to any 15mm rod. Snap on the cylindrical surface with ease.

I would prefer if the design have bigger base for the HDSLR -- less wobbling.

The pin that comes with it helps with holding the body to its base.

I love how quick and easy this baseplate makes taking on and off your camera from the rails. Great design. Solid build quality. I would recommend this.

Needed this for my camera. Couldn't use the Redrock shoulder mount without it. Simple and plain

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

This is well built and feels like it will last.

Small locking pins for Nikon and Canon bodies won't do much if using Gorilla Plate or any sort of Viewfinder mount, which makes camera shift a problem (especially if using in conjunction w/ a follow-focus unit).

Small and compact, easy quick release from rails.

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

Works and is built well. It's a little too pricey.

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

I use this for my Canon 7D. I was using a cheap universal baseplate which was heavy and really not made for a DSLR rig. This lightens my shoulder rig significantly, provides a solid base, particularly for when I use my follow focus. I now have a complete Redrock Micro shoulder rig and this was the last piece of the puzzle.

Comments about Redrock Micro DSLR Baseplate:

This is a MUST HAVE on any Redrock product. It is very easy to get the camera on and off as well as getting the actual mount on and off the rods. Its a very strong product.

Little word of advice though is put the rubber padding on the top of the Baseplate instead of the bottom of the camera. I even cut a whole in the top of the rubber plate for the Canon safety screw thing.

This is the 2nd Redrock Micro baseplate I've purchased and I have to say, it's about as well engineered and built as it could be. The quick release design is perfect for use and it's solid as a rock.

If you're planning on shooting any DSLR video, Redrock Micro's DSLR Baseplate is an absolute must. It literally saves shouldermount setup time by *minutes*. Although it may come off as a little expensive, it's entirely worth it.

if you're looking to save money go for like Jag35 or something like that. If you're looking to get the most bang out of your buck, go for Red Rock Micro all the way. I started with a simple gear ring and now I am in the process of creating my own custom rig. I am having tons of fun and it all starts with this base plate here which is compatible with any industry products. It has a spring loaded quick release. I must say I am continually impressed by the design and build of red rock products. I have spent over seven hundred dollars on their plastic and carbon fiber and I do not regret spending one penny. I am definitely hooked and plan to go red rock all the way. The best thing about red rock is that you build your own camera setup! It's like an erector set for videographers! The foundation of which is this pricey but necessary base plate.

Works very well with my 7D. Once locked in and secured to the cam, it feels rock solid.
