Zacuto VCT Pro Top Plate
Modular Quick-Release Camera Plate for Zacuto VCT Pro Baseplate & Dock
The Zacuto VCT Pro Top Plate is an essential accessory designed specifically for use with the Zacuto VCT Pro Baseplate. This red anodized top plate allows for seamless mounting, precise balance adjustment, and quick transitions between handheld, tripod, dolly, or gimbal setups. Ideal for professional filmmakers, this system empowers you to work faster, smarter, and more efficiently on set.
Quick-Swap Camera Compatibility
Mount a VCT Pro Top Plate on each of your camera bodies, and you’ll be able to switch between cameras in seconds — without rebalancing or rebuilding your rig. Whether you’re working with multiple cameras on a shoot, or switching between setups (such as a RED camera and a mirrorless backup), this modular approach simplifies workflow and minimizes downtime.
Perfect Balance & Rig Adjustability
The Top Plate features front-to-back adjustability, enabling you to fine-tune your camera’s position on the VCT Pro Baseplate. This allows operators to perfectly balance their rig whether shoulder-mounted or placed on a tripod. It’s especially valuable for longer or heavier lenses, matte boxes, or accessories that shift the center of gravity.
Fully Compatible with VCT Pro Ecosystem
The Zacuto VCT Pro Top Plate is designed to:
-
Lock securely into the VCT Pro Baseplate for shoulder-mounted use
-
Slide directly into the Zacuto VCT Pro Dock for tripod, dolly, or studio setups
This makes it a critical piece in the VCT system, ensuring rapid transitions between camera support modes with no compromise in stability or alignment.
Ideal for Multi-Camera Productions
By using multiple top plates, you can:
-
Standardize your mounting system across all cameras
-
Reduce setup time between shots
-
Eliminate the need to unscrew plates during fast-paced productions
This makes the Top Plate a must-have for cinematographers, camera rental houses, multi-cam studios, and production teams using Zacuto’s industry-leading support gear.
