Mini Quick Release Base

It’s the mini equivalent of the Ronford Baker Mini-RBQ, machined right here in the States by a 30-year industry veteran, and repairable for life at a modest price no matter the age. Every single review on this page is five stars. One reviewer called it out for “blowing every Manfrotto-style QR base I’ve ever used out of the water.” Another: “solid construction, expert craftsmanship, and reliability.” A third: “super solid, great for my Red Raptor setup.” That’s the standard.

Compatible with the Arri BP9, check the gallery for which 3/8″-16 threaded holes line up. Eight anodized color options, special order, pre-order at the top of the page.

Dimensions: 3″ × 5-1/4″ × 5/8″ · Weight: 1 lb
