SmallRig 4323 Overview

Add a lightweight mounting system to your small camera rig with this V-Lock Battery Plate with 15mm LWS Base Kit from SmallRig. This kit features a folding baseplate with a Manfrotto 501-type quick release plate on the base and a V-lock plate on the back that can fold down 180° to fold out of the way of the camera rear.

The V-lock plate is designed for V-mount batteries with power outputs to mount onto the back of the camera but contains no electronics. The baseplate is extendable, allowing the camera to slide up to 3.9" for more space or to add counterbalance for cameras with larger lenses. Also included is a 15mm LWS rod clamp for the front, and the two included 4" 15mm rods screw onto the back of the baseplate for additional mounting of optional pads or counterweights. A wireless device mount is also included that mounts onto a 15mm rod that provides a 1/4"-20 screw.

Key Features
All-in-one design with V-mount battery mounting solution (there are no electronic contacts on the V-lock plate).
Lightweight, modular folding baseplate design.
The base features a 3.9" sliding range to adjust the center of gravity.
The V-lock plate folds down 180° for easy storage and to use the camera's rear plate.
Built-in Manfrotto 501-type quick release plate at the bottom for quick switching between handheld and tripod.
Includes a 15mm rod clamp, 4" 15mm rods, and a wireless device mounting bracket, which provide mounting for an optional follow focus, matte box, lens support, shoulder pad, and other accessories.

Works for Canon C100 Mkii

By Aaron
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2024-03-30

I agonized over whether I should buy this or not since SmallRig says that this will not work for my Canon C100 Mkii. However, after scouring the internet for pictures or videos (which I didn't find!) I decided to risk it. Turns out, it works! I'm very happy with the kit so far, and will update my review if anything goes wrong. I have no need for the rod attachments, so I can't speak to that aspect, but for holding a v-mount battery and being able to attach it to my Manfrotto fluidhead, I'm happy! Further, I still have at least 10mm of room to adjust the baseplate to find the best spot on my camera. I would recommend this product. (Plus, I uploaded some photos that I wished someone else had when I was looking. Hopefully they help out the next buyer!)

Almost perfect and almost compatible with Zhiyun Crane 4

By Victor

It's a neat manfrottt 501. The limitations and annoyance it's not wide enough to be allowed to be clamped down on a Manfrotto fluid head and also it slides off on the Zhiyun Crane 4 Manfrotto; it can only slide into the Crane 4 from the rear. The front of the latch strike it's too wide for it pass the lock pin on the Crane 4. There's all the metal stop on the plate that prevents it from being balanced on the Crane 4. Great top part. Really poor design bottom Manfrotto plate. I want to work with SmallRig on this. It's almost there. I don't want this if I can't use on Crane 4 and on a Manfrotto Fluid. It slides off.

Would this be compatible with a Canon C100?
Asked by: Annie
I just bought this kit for my Canon C100 Mkii and it fits. So yes, this is compatible, despite what SmallRig's specifications indicate. In fact, I'm not sure why they say it doesn't work. I have at least 10mm of room to find the optimal position for the baseplate on my camera.

Would this fit a Sachtler Aktiv 8 head?

Would this fit a Sachtler Aktiv 8 head?
Asked by: Steven
No, the Sachtler Aktiv 8 would not work with Manfrotto plate styles supported by the SmallRig V-Lock Battery Plate with 15 mm LWS Base Kit for Small Cinema Cameras directly, but you could add a quick release adapter to make the Aktiv 8 head compatible with Manfrotto plate styles by adding this quick release adapter listed below: Manfrotto 577 Rapid Connect Adapter with Sliding Mounting Plate (501PL), BH # MA577
