CAMVATE Camera Baseplate Reviews

Another Great Solution!

By Hugh

My video work assignments are mostly run and gun with the occasional luxury of a planned shoot allowing shot lists and lighting setups. Because of my need to be rapidly mobile with fast setups in working environments not conducive to filmmaking, I need camera configurations that allow me to get in, turn on, get exposure, make my shots and get out. I use the Panasonic Lumix GH6, GH7 and G9 II cameras exclusively for their excellent picture quality and fabulous, professional level video options. I cannot lug around heavy, tricked out rigs that slow my on set progress nor bring attention to my work. I've found that a basic, lightweight cage (Smallrig Hawklock and Black Mamba varieties) and quality follow focus attachments (Smallrig and Tilta) are all I need to move stealthily through my assignments for handheld work. I scaled down a bit with the Sirui Universal Quick Release Baseplate with Dual 15mm Rod Clamp Kit and discovered that, although this is a terrific solution and a quality, well made product (see my review on this), I didn't really need a quick release option to separate my camera from my dual rod baseplate assembly. That was an extra step I noticed I wasn't utilizing. I researched other options on the B&H website and discovered this Camvate Camera Baseplate. It is light and attaches directly to the mounting holes on my Hawklock and Black mamba cages, perfectly aligning my 15 mm rods to allow me the use of lightweight matte boxes and follow focus wheels. The previously mentioned Sirui setup required me to manually re-align the camera to the rods each time I removed the camera from the assembly (because it had no centering hard stops on the Arca type base), adding precious time in between setups. With the Camvate, I grab the camera, rods, follow focus and all, and begin shooting handheld video, not having to worry about the extra step of connecting and releasing the camera from the baseplate assembly. My working style dictates my camera configurations and this Camvate baseplate has streamlined my on location assignments. For anyone who wants to know, this Camvate baseplate does not block the battery door on my GH6/GH7 Hawklock cage configurations and G9 II Black Mamba cage configurations.

Good solid mount

My previous base plate was vertically adjustable, but it would allow some slight rotational movement. This caused problems with a follow focus. This is solid, no problem.

Are the levels repositionable after locking? Like the spring-loaded type of levers.

Is it possible to remove the 3/8"-16 camera mounting screw and replace it with a 1/4"-20 screw? Basically, I need the plate to have two 1/4"-20 camera mounting screws.
