The SmallRig 15mm Dovetail Baseplate (Model 4002) is a precision-engineered foundation for filmmakers, cinematographers, and serious content creators who demand a rock-solid starting point for their camera rig builds. Whether you're shooting documentary, narrative film, YouTube content, or run-and-gun video, the 4002 baseplate gives you a reliable, industry-standard platform compatible with the widest range of 15mm LWS rod accessories on the market.
Key features of the SmallRig 4002 Dovetail Baseplate include:
- 15mm LWS Dovetail Design: Accepts standard 15mm lightweight support (LWS) rods, enabling compatibility with follow focus systems, matte boxes, lens supports, and more.
- Dovetail Mounting Interface: Quick-release dovetail allows fast attachment and detachment from compatible shoulder rigs and support systems without tools.
- Multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 Threaded Holes: Numerous mounting points let you attach accessories directly to the baseplate for a customized rig configuration.
- Durable CNC-Machined Aluminum Construction: Lightweight yet strong anodized aluminum body withstands the rigors of professional production environments.
- Adjustable Rod Spacing: Accommodates varying rod positions to suit different camera bodies and lens configurations.
The SmallRig 4002 excels in numerous production scenarios. On a narrative film set, it serves as the backbone of a full cinema rig — mounting follow focus, matte box, and lens support in one cohesive system. For documentary and event videographers, the dovetail quick-release means rapid transitions between handheld and supported shooting modes. YouTubers and content creators building their first professional rig will appreciate the versatility and expandability the 4002 provides, growing with your kit as you add accessories over time.
