Product Information

Full details

Designed for professional Sony A7 V, A7R V, and A7 IV users, this SmallRig Baseplate serves as a dual-purpose tool for camera protection and asset security. It provides an ergonomic grip extension for improved comfort while integrating a hidden AirTag slot to help track your gear in case of loss or theft. While the plate adds essential security and stability features, it does increase the total weight and footprint of the camera body slightly compared to a naked configuration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, align the 1/4"-20 screw on the baseplate with the tripod mount on the bottom of your Sony A7 V, A7R V, or A7 IV. Use the integrated magnetic wrench to tighten it firmly. Ensure the protective pads are seated correctly against the camera base to prevent any twisting. To insert an AirTag, simply slide it into the designated slot, ensuring it is flush with the plate surface. For care, wipe the aluminum alloy surface with a dry, microfiber cloth to remove dust or moisture. Periodically check the mounting screw tightness after heavy use in the field to maintain a secure connection.
