The new Zacuto LWS (lightweight support) with Z-Release for all professional 2/3", 1/2"sized cameras, as well as prosumer cameras such as the JVC GY-HD100/200/250 or the Canon XL-H1.

Zacuto LWS gives you the ability like all previous LWS plates to mount rods to the front of your camera for attaching matte boxes & follow focus units. But as usual, Zacuto has taken this several steps farther. This is the first universal lightweight support plate to work with all Sony, Panasonic, Canon & JVC cameras that use the wedge style tripod plate. That means one plate for all cameras, and when you get a new camera your Z-LWS goes with you.

The LWS has unique features that have never been seen in lightweight support plates such as incorporating two Z-Release mounts into the plate. These mounts allow the user to be able to attach any Z-Release equipped products directly to your Z-LWS plate. This frees the camera from having to mount equipment on it. Also, with the flip of a Z-Release lever your equipment is released allowing you to go handheld in seconds. No more unscrewing monitors for a simple location move. Mount items like Zacuto wireless plates, Zamerican articulating arms or any other arms retrofitted with Z-Release, on-board monitors, hard drives and more. Virtually anything can be mounted to this style of camera allowing the you to completely customize your setup, similar to the versatility seen in Zacuto’s innovative prosumer baseplate line.

Z-LWS package includes, LWS plate, two 8" front rods and side mounted double Z-Release mount
