Zacuto.com Announces New Universal ​
Base Plate For HD Movie Cameras​
Zacuto, a leading provider of high definition video cameras and accessories is announcing its new Universal Camera Support System and Base Plate for HD movie cameras. The HD camera base plate works with all cameras, is fully adjustable, and makes it easy to add accessories to lightweight HD cameras without breaking them.

The new Universal Camera Support System and HD camera base plate creates a new prosumer camera accessories product line that challenges the way things have been done before.

A question people often have with these small prosumer cameras is, where will all of the accessories go (monitor, hard drives, wireless, units, transmitters, matte boxes, follow focuses, hand grips, shoulder pads, on-board lights, etc.) and how will we power all of these items”? That's where the idea for the HD camera base plate and Universal Camera Support System comes in; a series of products that allows for the mounting of accessories to go from tripod to handheld in seconds and is capable of powering everything.

Originally manufactured primarily for Zacuto’s rental department, nothing like it has been available to the market before.
  • first universal plate adjustable for all cameras
  • first to use rods behind the camera
  • first accessory mount (Zacuto Double or Mini Mount™) to mount arms for monitors and accessories
  • first Arm Locks (prevents arms from loosening)
  • first accessory plate (Zacuto Red Plate™) to allow up to 4 on-board Zacuto Wireless Plates™ at one time
  • first universal wireless plate (Zacuto Wireless Plate™) to allow for any size wireless, down-converter, video transmitter regardless of size, make, model or manufacturer
  • first rod mounted battery system with 7.2 - 12 volt power taps
  • first to allow prosumer cameras to mount all of the equipment necessary to properly shoot a film
The system is universal (adjustable) to work with all cameras, matte boxes, follow focus units, hard drives, etc. Since the camera, hard drive & monitors change year to year, all of your Zacuto products can adjust to fit the new technologies. This works out well because Zacuto has a lifetime warranty.
“The Zacuto Universal Base Plate is a necessary item for feature filmmakers,” says San Diego DP Andy Kuepper. “Everyone serious about shooting a small format camera must own a Zacuto Universal Camera Support System. The solid workmanship and attention to detail and quality made my transition from the Film world that much easier. The HD camera base plate sold me with it's innovative use of the rods behind the camera. I don't know how you would attempt to use a high-end on-board monitor without the solid support a Zacuto Baseplate offers.”

Looks interesting, just glancing over your site. Does it allow you to move the cam forward on the tripod? I have the HD100, and still trying to learn to pan with the AB pack on the back.
