The Universal BUD Plate from Bright Tangerine enables your camera to be moved effortlessly between shoulder rig, baseplate, gimbal, and handheld setups. This adaptability is possible thanks to its compatibility with the 88mm BUD standard and a variety of BUD accessories, including the KASBAH Atman shoulder rig, LeftField 3 BUD baseplate, stabilizer adapter mounts, gimbal dovetails, and ARRI’s own BUD products. Designed for universal compatibility, the plate features a flat surface that adds only 0.8" to your setup, minimizing bulk while accommodating any camera. This design maximizes functionality without sacrificing form or convenience.
Central Channel with Captive Screws
The central channel of the plate includes two 3/8"-16 and 1/4"-20 captive screws, making it compatible with any mounting point configuration-whether it's two 3/8"-16, or a combination of one 3/8"-16 and one 1/4"-20. This feature ensures secure attachment to any camera, providing a robust foundation for various shooting needs.
Easily Accessible Lock
No more struggling with hard-to-reach locks as the easily accessible low-profile lever lock makes locking simple. This tactile and secure clamp ensures that adjustments can be made swiftly and reliably, enhancing the overall user experience by reducing downtime during shoots.
Safety Button for Secure Operation
To prevent accidental releases when balancing the camera, the plate is equipped with a safety button. This critical feature enhances operational safety, giving users peace of mind during dynamic shooting scenarios.
Accessory Mounting with MAP M4
The plate includes MAP M4 points on both sides, making it compatible with a wide variety of accessories. Additionally, it provides provisions for future side plates and other accessories, ensuring long-term adaptability and expansion.
Compact Alternative to ARRI BUD-3
For camera operators using the ARRI Alexa Mini LF, the Universal BUD Plate offers a compact alternative to the ARRI BUD-3, which doesn't require the full cage to be used. The rear of the BUD-3 is equipped with mounting points for the rear bracket and battery mounts, which add weight to the back of the camera.
Lightweight & Strong
Engineered to minimize flex, the Universal BUD Plate is CNC machined and meticulously hollowed out, preserving its structural integrity. Its lightweight design ensures durability and ease of handling, which makes it an ideal choice for long shooting sessions where every ounce matters.
15mm LWS Standard Heights
As a universal accessory, the optical height will vary depending on the camera used. When paired with the KASBAH Atman Shoulder Rigs, the front rod mount can be adjusted to ensure the rods are positioned at the correct height. The LeftField 3 BUD 15mm LWS Baseplate offsets the camera heights.
