SmallRig VCT14 Quick Release Tripod Plate 2169

The VCT-14 standard is a widely adopted mounting system for professional video cameras, allowing for quick attachment and detachment from tripods and shoulder rigs using a specific wedge plate design.

This plate is designed to attach to tripod heads that support the VCT-14 standard. You can also mount it onto general tripod plates using its integrated 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, provided the tripod head can support its weight and dimensions.

The plate is constructed from a combination of durable aluminum and stainless steel for longevity and robustness.

Your camera needs to have a VCT-14 compatible baseplate. You then slide this baseplate onto the SmallRig plate and secure it using the built-in lever release system.

The plate measures 300 mm in width, 45 mm in depth, and 114 mm in height.

The plate weighs 737 grams.

Yes, it is designed to work with other SmallRig accessories, such as the SmallRig Sony VCT-14 Shoulder Plate 1954, and offers multiple threads for attaching additional gear.

Ensure the camera's VCT-14 baseplate is fully seated on the SmallRig plate and the lever is securely locked. Check for any debris on the connection surfaces.

Check for obstructions or debris in the lever mechanism. Lightly lubricate moving parts if necessary, ensuring not to overuse lubricant.

Verify that your tripod head is indeed compatible with the VCT-14 standard and that the plate is correctly aligned before attempting to lock it.
