The SHAPE DSLR Kirk Neff Baseplate + Cage Over Size 2.0 is a baseplate and half-cage designed for a larger bodied DSLR camera, such as the Canon 1D C or Nikon D4, or a smaller DSLR camera with battery grip. The baseplate and half-cage are integrated into one unit and feature an adjustable top handle assembled on top, two 15mm rod blocks, and a standard V-lock quick-release system.

The quick release plate attaches to the bottom of your camera using a supplied 1/4"-20 screw and has adjustable rubber stoppers at the back to prevent your camera from twisting during operation. For alignment and balance adjustments, the V-lock delta adapter on the bottom of the quick-release plate can be also adjusted forward/backward via an adjustment screw, and the camera screw can be placed in a front or rear position using appropriate hex keys. All screw adjustments are made using included hex keys.

The top-handle rotates a full 360° at the press of a push-button on top. Two 15mm rod mount blocks are provided: one at the base of the unit and one at cage-level. The cage-level rod block allows 1/2" of vertical adjustment to properly align of a matte box and follow focus with your lens. Each rod block has a ratcheting lever to secured the rods into place. Two pairs of 15mm rods come included in 6" and 8" lengths.

The baseplate provides 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads for use on a tripod. The top handle and side cage feature 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads for adding various camera accessories.
