Tilta 15mm LWS Arca Manfrotto Dual Baseplate, Multi

Tilta has announced three new camera accessories. The 15mm LWS Arca Manfrotto Dual Baseplate, Multi-Functional NATO Mounting Bracket, and Multi-Functional Cold Shoe Mounting Bracket.

The 15mm LWS Arca Manfrotto Dual Baseplate is a multi-functional baseplate for anyone who regularly utilizes both Manfrotto and Arca connection types.

Similar to Tilta’s other support systems, the baseplate provides a stable starting block for your camera system, allowing you to expand your rig by mounting rod-based accessories like follow focus motors or matte boxes.

The new dual-purpose design features an Arca Receiver based on DJI’s standard, allowing users to quickly switch between a Ronin S Series Gimbal and this baseplate.

The baseplate also features a Manfrotto Receiver, which is ideal for switching between a tripod and other Manfrotto based support systems such as our Tilta Float Handheld Support System.

This Manfrotto Receiver features a new “Snap In” Design, which allows users to snap the Manfrotto Plate into the receiver as opposed to more traditional sliding mechanisms.

The baseplate is natively compatible with Tilta Standard Dovetails and can be mounted to a wide range of support systems through 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads on the bottom of both the baseplate and our dovetails.

The Baseplate Kit includes a Dual Manfrotto/Arca Quick Release Plate.

Please note that compatibility with 3rd Party ARCA and Manfrotto Quick Release Plates is not guaranteed.

The 15mm LWS Arca Manfrotto Dual Baseplate is now available for $89 USD.

The Multi-Functional NATO Mounting Bracket is a small and lightweight Mounting Bracket that features an array of options for mounting accessories such as multiple Cold Shoe Receivers, 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 threads with locating pins.

The three Cold Shoe Receivers all feature one-way mounting, which allows Cold Shoe accessories to remain more secure and are less likely to become accidentally disconnected.

This Bracket connects via a NATO Connection which allows its position to be easily adjusted and locked in place on integrated NATO Rails found on most of Tilta’s camera cages or via our more universal external NATO Rail Attachments.

Weighing only 53g, this accessory is constructed from aluminum alloy and can support a payload of up to 2kg / 4.4 lbs.

The Multi-Functional NATO Mounting Bracket is now available to pre-order for $13.50 USD. It is scheduled to start shipping in the next two weeks.

This Bracket connects via a Cold Shoe Connection which allows it to be easily secured to most of Tilta’s camera cages or via the 1/4″-20 thread found on the bottom.
