Bright Tangerine Unity Drop-In Lock – Mounting plate / rail

Unity Drop-In Lock

A tiny widget with a big promise. That’s the Unity Drop-In Lock in a nutshell: a tiny set of NATO accessories, but one that gives you endless rigging possibilities. With our unique Drop-In design that makes mounting easier than ever, and adjustable mounting options that are compatible with just about anything, the Unity system is ready for whatever your rig needs. The Drop-In Lock comes in two distinct parts: a NATO Clamp, and a NATO Rail. Each has built in magnets that attract to one another, giving you that oh-so-satisfying click into place. Once it’s in place, the auto-clamping design keeps the Rail in place – just use the lever to fully secure it.

More details

The Unity system has a unique combination of screws, threads and adaptors that make it capable of mounting to any part of your camera rig. Choose from a 1/4" screw, a 1/4" thread, a 3/8” screw or a 3/8” thread – along with multiple anti-twist options to suit all of the above. So whether you’re hooking it up to a Cheese Plate or bridging the gap between builds, the Clamp is up for anything. Most NATO rails are limited to side-loading, meaning you have to slide it into place – and if you haven’t got easy line-of-sight, that is more difficult than it sounds. The Unity Lock can be loaded top-down as well as from the side, which when coupled with the auto-locking mechanism and magnetic guidance means that you’ll be able to safely secure your rig at any time. Who needs line-of-sight? You could load NATO rails practically blindfolded.
