This system starts with an ARCA Base Plate and Riser that offers a base that keeps your build at the appropriate optical height for mounting accessories in traditional cinema workflows. The built-in ARCA system allows for quick transitions between Steadicam, shoulder, or tripod workflows. Two 12” 15mm rods and a Safety Dovetail are included to round out the foundation of your setup.

The NATO Side Rail provides additional mounting points to the operator's side, connecting the Top and Riser plates, creating a robust, secure design that wraps around the camera. 

To cap off this Elite System is the 2-piece Top Plate that is secured to the top of the camera via a single ¼”-20 screw and through the hot shoe mount on the back of the camera. The design includes a removable back plate, if the user wants to use the hot shoe mount. This system also includes an Ultra Handle that allows users to securely hold on to your camera as well as adds mounting options for additional accessories. 

The power component of the Elite System is our V-Mount battery slides that provide external power to the Canon EOS C80. The Battery Slides feature 3x D-Tap ports for accessory power– including a digital fuse, which cuts off accessory outputs while leaving the camera powered. This battery plate can be attached to the Top Plate or Riser Plate by aligning the interlocking ridges and turning the thumbwheel to tighten a ¼”-20 screw. When mounted to the Top Plate, this system still allows access to the original battery compartment– enabling operators to hot-swap power between both BPU and brick batteries. To adjust the battery plate’s vertical position, loosen the pivoting clamp and slide the plate up or down.
