The new Sony NEX FS-100 baseplate is now available. Developed specifically for the popular FS-100, this baseplate can be configured in a number of ways to achieve perfect balance for handheld use or on a tripod. The top plate can be moved forward or rearward so that if you are running a large lens out the front or rear mount battery or other accessories in the rear,  you will be able to achieve the balance you need.

The bottom plate is drilled and tapped to allow you to add our Cross Clamp for creating a cage or adding additional handles or other accessories. Sold with 2 inch vertical risers.
