Zacuto VCT Pro Tripod Dock
Quick-Release Docking Station for the VCT Pro Baseplate
The Zacuto VCT Pro Tripod Dock is the perfect companion accessory to Zacuto’s VCT Pro Baseplate, allowing you to instantly switch your camera setup from handheld or shoulder-mounted mode to a tripod, dolly, Steadicam, or studio configuration. Designed for fast-paced film, television, and commercial productions, this docking system is ideal for professional cinematographers who need quick, secure, and repeatable mounting without the hassle of re-rigging.
Seamless Quick-Release Operation
With a simple press of the release lever on the VCT Pro Baseplate, the red top plate detaches and slides directly into the VCT Pro Tripod Dock. Once in place, a twist of the mini ratcheting lever locks your camera securely — providing a stable and vibration-free platform ready for action.
This docking system eliminates delays and setup time, letting you move fluidly between operating modes on set.

Its low-profile design maintains your rig’s center of gravity and integrates seamlessly into your existing support systems.
