SmallRig 2988 Reviews

Works great - wish it had more threads though

It probably works great for other smallrig products and the lock is secure and plate is well built. But I wish it had more threads so it was more universal. Mounting it onto an old RED 19mm rail bracket and the threads don't line up to get 2 1/4 screws in so just have to do one and really tighten it. Still happy with my purchase though!

Way better than my other plate

I was using a different brand and the vmount was loose. I've tried different battery's on that plate and it would always wiggle. Not to mention that plate always gave me trouble getting the battery on and off. The smallrig battery plate is awesome! Super secure and easy to lock into place/take off.

Will this work on the back of the Canon C400?

Asked by: Tanner
The SmallRig V-Lock Battery Plate would not be able to mount onto the back of the Canon EOS C400 6K Full-Frame Digital Cinema Camera (Canon RF). The Tilta Battery Plate for Canon EOS C400 (V-Mount), BH #TIEST22BPV, would be an option for mounting a V-Mount battery directly to the back of the camera.
