FAQs:
What does the Open•Up quick-release system actually change in practice?
The Open•Up system allows you to drop the camera onto an ARRI-standard dovetail and lock it in place without rethreading screws each time. When moving between tripod, shoulder pad or other support systems, that speed makes a noticeable difference. It also keeps your rig balanced consistently, since the base position remains unchanged.
Why is the dedicated Canon C400 riser important?
The riser sets the C400 to the correct 15mm LWS optical centre height, ensuring rod-mounted accessories align accurately with the lens. Without the correct height, matte boxes and lens motors may sit too high or low. The riser uses rubber pads to prevent twisting and secures with six screws to maintain rigidity.
Can this baseplate be used with other cameras?
The LeftField 3 baseplate core is designed to work with interchangeable riser blocks. While this kit includes the C400 riser, you can swap it for other compatible cameras. That flexibility is useful for owner-operators running multiple bodies on the same support system.
How does the sliding base help with balance?
The baseplate includes a sliding, locking mechanism that allows you to adjust the camera’s fore and aft position on the dovetail. This becomes important when switching between lighter primes and heavier zooms. Proper balance reduces strain on tripod heads and shoulder rigs, improving overall handling.
Does it support full rod-based builds?
Yes. The LeftField 3 core provides front and rear 15mm LWS rod mounts, allowing you to run rods for follow focus units, matte boxes or lens supports. Combined with ARRI-standard dovetail compatibility and multiple accessory threads, it forms a solid foundation for more complex cinema builds around the Canon C400.

The Buy Now Pay Later option comprises a 36 month loan following a six month deferral period.
During the six-month deferral period, it is possible to pay off the loan, either by way of a lump sum or in smaller amounts. If the loan is partially repaid within six months, the remaining interest will be adjusted to reflect the new balance. If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan). Novuna Personal Finance will send a reminder letter approximately one month before the six-month deferral period is due to elapse.
