Tilta 15mm LWS Baseplate Type VI (Black)

The Tilta 15mm LWS Baseplate Type VI provides a mounting foundation for building out a camera rig system, allowing cinema and mirrorless cameras to be securely attached to a 15mm lightweight support (LWS) rod system for use with follow focus units, matte boxes, and other rig accessories. Designed for filmmakers and videographers who need a modular, expandable camera support setup, this baseplate serves as the connection point between the camera body and the broader rig ecosystem.

Compatible with the industry-standard 15mm rod system, the baseplate allows users to attach dual 15mm rods that extend forward from the camera, creating a stable platform for mounting additional accessories such as follow focus systems, matte boxes, and lens support brackets. This rod-based configuration is widely used in professional and independent film production because it allows accessories to be positioned and adjusted along the rod length without needing to reconfigure the entire rig each time a new piece of equipment is added.

The baseplate typically features a standard camera mounting screw along with an anti-twist locating pin to prevent the camera from rotating on the plate, ensuring a secure, stable connection even during handheld operation or when the rig is subjected to movement on a gimbal or shoulder rig. Its quick-release mechanism, common to Tilta’s baseplate designs, allows for fast attachment and detachment of the camera from the rig, streamlining workflow between handheld shooting and rig-mounted setups.

Constructed from durable materials designed to withstand the rigors of professional production environments, the Type VI baseplate in black is built to integrate smoothly with Tilta’s broader ecosystem of cages, rods, and rig accessories, as well as other 15mm LWS-compatible gear from different manufacturers. This makes it a practical foundational component for filmmakers building a modular rig setup tailored to their specific camera body and production needs.
