Overview
The CBP-5 is a compact and lightweight baseplate that combines the functionalities of a sliding studio bridge plate with a comfortable Visco shoulder pad. It allows for significant balance adjustment by sliding into the bottom of the Balance Utility Dovetail BUD-1. The improved quick-release system, first seen in the CBP-1 for ALEXA Mini and now in its third generation, makes it easy to lift off the bottom dovetail plate without having to slide off from the rear. This feature is especially useful when dealing with larger lenses or when quickly switching between tripod-mounted and handheld configurations.
The CBP-6 is designed to accept 15 mm Lightweight and 19 mm Studio rods. It features new structural supports and two tails underneath to increase the rigidity of the system, unlike previous CBP designs. However, it is only compatible with the ALEXA 35, making it a versatile and essential tool for filmmakers using this camera. With its compact size, lightweight design, and improved quick-release system, the CBP-5 and CBP-6 are top choices for professional filmmakers looking for a reliable baseplate for their ALEXA 35 cameras.
