Providing support to your camera while protecting its underside from repeated attachment to and removal from tripod plates, the Canon C500 II C300 III V-Lock Quick Release Baseplateis designed to mate perfectly with your camera. The plate centers your camera left to right for mounting on tripods or other mounting adapters so matte boxes and other rod-mounted accessories line up correctly when your camera with adapter plate is mounted on a baseplate that features support rods.

The bottom of the adapter plate has five 3/8"-16 and four 1/4"-20 threaded mounting holes in a straight line that allow you to adjust the position and balance of your camera forward and back when mounted on a baseplate or directly on a tripod. An included Allen wrench tightens the cap head screws that mount the plate onto your camera. This is for the adapter plate only.
