I've been modifying my DSLR Rig for my new C100/Atomos Combo. I don't feel too comfortable with the DSLR baseplate on a C100, doesn't feel too secure. Could anyone recommend a decent baseplate to attach to my 15mm rods for a handheld rig...budget around $100-200.
 
C100 With Gorilla Baseplate.JPG

With the Zacuto Gorilla baseplate not all non adjustable matteboxes will work. I got luck and mine does fit. Not perfect but good enough if I need to use one. The baseplate is not height adjustable.

I had to move the gear to the front of my follow focus as well.The hard stops was hitting the mattebox.
 
We sell a lot of the Gorilla but my favorite, and one that sells equally, is the Chrosziel (401-94a).....the rods can slide all the way through so it is easier to adjust for the different lengths of lenses when using a matte box & follow focus.....

looks solid and you just have to add handles on the rods to make it shoulder capable (with a viewfinder)...

I have the Tilta and I'm selling it because the Canon Cinema EOS cams doesn't work with it. If you want to add a matte box the camera sits to high and the matte box wont center up on the lens even if the rails adjusted all the way up.
The C100 and C30 need a lower profile baseplate.
