With Sony FS7M2 V-Lock Quick Release Baseplateyou can build a 15mm LWS rig around your FS7 or FS7M2 camera. The included 15mm rods enable you to mount a matte box, follow focus, lens support or other production accessory. Since the plate is designed for the FS7, correct lens height is ensured for correct accessory clearance. A rear insert plate is included to support the raised rear portion of the FS7 body, increasing the surface area of the camera base.

The mounting points on the bottom of the baseplate itself can secure to a standard VCT-14 quick release tripod plate. When not locked down, the shoulder pad provides cushioned support for handheld shooting. Touch-fastener on the shoulder pad allows easy removal for cleaning or replacement.

Further handheld options can be introduced using the rosettes towards the front of the baseplate. Separately available handgrips, like the SHAPE Telescoping Handles can be secured directly to the baseplate for increased stability. Separately available 15mm rods can also be attached at the rear of the plate using the 15mm Rod Bloc (also available separately).

Q: 2. Can you mount the camera to this baseplate using the center screws, shifting the camera back an inch or so, similar to the zacuto baseplate?

A: Just be aware that you will likely go through the adjustment game forever if using the shoulder mount for anything off of sticks. I know they sell an accessory wedge to place under the rear of the camera. Might be worth looking into if you are for sure going to change the screw placement.

Q: 3. Does it fit on the FS7M2 too?

A: Hello ReneThank you for your question! Indeed it does! You can mount the FS7M2 on it without a problem. To enhance its stability, you can add our FS7RIP, a rear insert plate that you can find on our website.

Q: 4. What's the support piece that you need to add to this to actually support a lens?

A: The support works with most Lens Adapters such as Metabones, Fotodiox, Novoflex etc. Most Lens adapters have a tripod foot with a 1/4" 20 threaded hole. the support is designed to screw into that hole and support the lens via the Lens Adapter. The included support is not designed to connect directly to a lens therefore if you are using a heavy E mount lens and wish to support it we recommend purchasing a separate lens support that will mount to the 15mm rods.

Q: 7. Is anyone having poblems with it clicking properly into VCT14? I have to remove the shoulder pad for it to click into place securely and even then mostly it doesnt click into the rear screw. I bought a new VCT14 thinking that was the issue but I still have the same problem

A: I feel like I had a similar issue when I first got the base plate, but maybe over time it's been able to fit better into the quick release plate. In the beginning I might've press down on the camera to help secure it. I probably still make sure that it's clicking in the place of the rear lock.
