SHAPE C4B15 Reviews

Sigh...no one can seem to get this right

Advertised as a baseplate for the C400 that is compatible with 501-type plates on the top and Arri dovetail plates on the bottom. Neither is the case. The only 501-type plate that fits this is the plate it comes with. Same with the Arri plate on the bottom. They machined it to fit these plates exactly with zero tolerance for anything else. So trying to make this work with existing equipment is a no-go. Also, the lever release on top plate is very easy to disengage - there is no locking mechanism on it, nor does there seem to be any way to adjust the tension. There are a lot of sharp edges around the unit - hardly any chamfers to make things at least comfortable to use.
