Kondor Blue 501 Adjustable Baseplate, No QR

Introducing the Enhanced Kondor Blue Adjustable 501 Baseplate
Our team has gone back to the drawing board to completely overhaul our 501 Baseplate. Our main goal was to add much-needed functionality, starting with aligning most of our camera cages to an 85mm sensor to rail center offset for matte box compatibility. While there are many height-adjustable baseplate options, most are too tall to start, negating the need for vertical height adjustment. They can also become loose and wobbly during a shoot. To address these concerns, we precisely machined 1mm adjustments with corresponding laser engravings, making it easy and accurate to adjust the baseplate height. We even provide a guide for each cage we offer, indicating the exact position where the baseplate should be set.

Our team also improved the 15mm rail clamps by doubling the clamping force without marring your rails. The M4 ratchet knobs are now captive, and there's no need to worry about losing them. Whether you’re using the 501 Drop-in Plate or mounting directly to the Baseplate Riser Block, you can mount multiple bolts to any camera cage to prevent twisting. Swapping out mounting options is easy, thanks to slotted access from the underside of the baseplate.

We also offer multiple tripod mounting solutions with our baseplate. You can mount tripod plates directly to the base using 3/8” and 1/4” helicoil mounting holes or use the built-in dovetail clamp, which pairs perfectly with our Lightweight Dovetail Plates.

As with all Kondor Blue products, we meticulously considered long-term usability and functionality with each cut, curve, and function. We're confident that you'll enjoy the added flexibility of our all-new Kondor Blue Adjustable 501 Baseplate.
