Description
10″ Tilta Standard Lightweight Dovetail Plate
Secure, Versatile, and Lightweight Mounting Solution for Professional Camera Rigs
The 10″ Tilta Standard Lightweight Dovetail Plate is designed to deliver exceptional camera mounting flexibility, secure locking, and precise balance across a wide range of professional filmmaking setups. Built from durable aluminum and stainless steel, this dovetail plate offers a reliable connection between your camera rig and various support systems, including tripods, cranes, sliders, shoulder rigs, and more.
Engineered to complement Tilta Standard and Tiltaing baseplates, the 10″ dovetail plate enables smooth sliding and locking action that makes balancing your camera system fast and effortless—especially useful for handheld-to-tripod transitions in dynamic shooting environments.
Seamless Integration with Professional Rigs
This dovetail plate features universal 1/4″-20 and 3/8″-16 mounting threads, making it compatible with most industry-standard tripod heads, grip equipment, and support accessories. Whether you’re rigging on a fluid head, jib arm, car mount, or crane, this plate guarantees a solid and stable platform for your camera.
When used with Tilta’s baseplates, it enables secure, adjustable mounting along a dedicated track system. This allows cinematographers and camera operators to slide the camera forward or backward to find the perfect center of gravity, improving both balance and operator control.
Ideal for Run-and-Gun & Studio Workflows
Thanks to its quick-swap compatibility, the Tilta Standard Dovetail Plate is the perfect solution for transitioning between locked-off tripod setups and handheld shooting using the Tilta Dovetail Shoulder Rig. This flexibility helps filmmakers adapt to changing shooting conditions without wasting time on re-rigging.
Its low-profile design and lightweight construction make it an excellent option for gimbal, Steadicam, and shoulder-mounted setups where weight savings are critical.
Designed for Safety and Durability
A built-in safety pin adds an extra layer of protection—preventing your rig from sliding off accidentally, especially when rigging in challenging environments like overhead shots, vehicle mounts, or dynamic action sequences. Constructed with precision-machined aluminum and stainless steel, the dovetail is rugged enough for the rigors of professional production while keeping the overall rig weight low.
