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 top plate can also be used separately so you can mount your dovetail plate directly to the bottom of your camera.  Up and down iris rod height adjustability is available via the dual Quad Blocks that hold the iris rod so that you can accommodate just about any lens, follow focus and matte box combination. 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. Camera knob and fasteners included.

This baseplate assembly provides a secure and solid mounting platform for large bodied cameras.  The tripod plate has enough mounting holes to attach to just about anything, including the offset mounting holes necessary for the ARRI bridge. Two mounting knobs, one on the front and the other on the rear, allow for secure camera mounting of the Sony PMW-F3 with or without tools, most other cameras use a single knob. The Quad Blocks provide vertical adjustment of the iris rods. The Camera Mounting Plate may be moved forward or back in 1/2 inch increments for balance adjustment. The Baseplate includes a set of  four 1 inch vertical risers in addition to the 1.5 inch risers shown. *Introductory price of $590.00.*
