Overview

Overview

The Zacuto VCT Pro Baseplate is compatible with all cameras including Canon EOS C-series, Sony FS5 and FS7, AJA CION, Blackmagic, RED cameras, ARRI AMIRA, many DSLRs, Mirrorless cameras, and more. The VCT Pro has a built-in, curved shoulder pad, plus an ARRI M6 rosette for accessories and grips. It comes with quick-release, extendable 6.5" rods at the front and lightweight spaced quick-release rod ports at the back. The v-wedge tripod connector is compatible with VCT14 tripod adapter plates or you can use the 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 screw holes for direct connect to your tripod quick-release plate.

The red sliding top plate offers easy adjustability for lens changes, removing your camera, and balancing your rig correctly on your shoulder. This sliding plate, combined with a double screw track, offers 10" of camera balance sliding range. You can quickly release your camera from the rig by sliding the red plate completely off and using the Zacuto VCT Pro Dock (sold separately) to quickly transition it to a tripod, slider, etc.

A lightweight, adjustable rod mount is set far back in the plate, which offers plenty of accessory-capable area under the camera lens. This allows you to position your camera further back on the plate. This keeps the balance point of your rig directly over your shoulder. The sliding track of the rod riser offers 25mm of vertical adjustment.

The shoulder pad portion of the VCT Universal is set as far forward on the plate as possible, also to maximize your accessory capable rod area and aid with balance. The VCT Universal Baseplate is the core of Zacuto's Next Generation Recoil rigs.

Lowering your camera on a rig prevents already tall cameras from being too top heavy. With the Zacuto VCT, the distance from the bottom of your camera to your shoulder is just 3/4".
