Excellent product!

Excellent product quality and very well built, this baseplate riser helped me to fit my Cinematics Mattebox on my Canon XF100. I've been able to lower the mattebox in order to fit the center of the mattebox with the camcorder' lens. Works well with DSLRs too.

Brilliant

Clever design. Works great. Does exactly what I need it to do. I can mount a follow focus and a small matte box for my Canon T3i, even with a 300mm lens. Simplifies the process of using 15mm rods and mounting to a tripod for DSLR cameras. I don't like the hand held rigs, they are too complicated. This is exactly what I was looking for.

question

I am trying to raise a mattebox that sits too low. Can the riser part be raised to where the rods break the plane of the top base?
Asked by: Knick
The rods can be raised and lowered. If not enough, then it depends on your matte box and camera. If you have further questions please email us. [email protected].
