[Universal] This sturdy, well-made and fairly priced solution for mounting battery plates and other camera rig gew-gaws is outstanding. I highly recommend have one in your kit.

[Universal] Allows you to access the battery door with a tripod plate still on and offers a better grip.

[0.55 lb] The price is tough to handle, but everything I've got from Wooden Camera is incredible, and holds up over the years. Both in build quality and design. When I can afford it, love working with their pieces.

[0.55 lb] My previous base plate was vertically adjustable, but it would allow some slight rotational movement. This caused problems with a follow focus. This is solid, no problem.

[Universal] I used this item to elevate a rail mounted rig for a teleprompter to obtain correct position for the camera lens. Well constructed and fairly priced.

[Aluminum] Great for hang some adaptors or special plates to the wall.

I recomend this!

[Universal] Very well made, I like the red levers, it helps the rig stand out.

[Baseplate] Does the job well.

[Baseplate] I use it for my mirrorless camera. Would recommend.

[Baseplate] This frame has an incredible amount of versatility for adjusting its size to hold and shield the larger framed cameras. This requires a tripod that is known for its stability and a professional video head equal to the Manfrotto MVH500AH or its equivalent, or even better. Regardless when used in studio or field environments, this frame is actually capable of mounting more than one camera and still offers plenty of space available for adding several accessories commonly used for photography.....
The overall adjustment possibilities are quite extensive with height ranging from 6 to 9 inches. Height can still be extended even more simply by replacing the standard 15mm rods that slide inside the handles with a set of rods up to 18, also readily available from B&H Photo.....
Standard width is 10.5 but does not necessarily exclude using a wider camera because of the added forward and rearward adjustment of the base. The base is provided with a Manfrotto 501 style quick release plate and can be raised or lowered using the adjustable slide screw located between the rods. The base can also be moved sideways for centering between the two outer handles. A top plate is also provided with an adjustable cold shoe insert that can provide a very solid anchor for the camera when fastened to the hot shoe receptacle.....
Industry standards allow for using components from the various brands to mix & match with this unit for even more protection and versatility. There are several component bundles that can be added to the C1772 for better handling and offer even better protection for the lens or LCD screen. Using a few low cost add-ons, my camera now has an immense amount of protection in case of tripod tip over so the impact will be absorbed by the frame and will not impact the camera directly. For risky instances I'm also not beyond using bubble wrap or foam padding, but still need protection from rain or (heaven forbid) being dunked in the pond.
