This is the Quick Release Base-Dovetail (QRB-DV),  similar to the Otto Nemenz version of the Ronford Baker Quick Release Bases (RBQ’s) but with a built in dovetail!

This is the Quick Release Base Dovetail (QRB-DV).  Think of the standard Clean’s QRB, but with a built-in dovetail. Same USA-machined aluminum, same lifetime repair policy, same compatibility with O’Connor 120mm, Sachtler 35, and Arri BP9, with one addition that a specific group of y’all specifically asked for.

The dovetail means this QRB can slide into a dovetail plate without a separate adapter. If you’re building a rig where that matters, you already know why this exists. One reviewer: “This was something I’d been looking for a long time, Clean’s did a great job and even added a thing or two I wouldn’t have thought of.” Another: “Simplifies what I used to use.” Third: “Very unique part but a must have if you have the right situation.”

If you know you need a dovetail-integrated QRB, this is yer plate. If yer not sure, the standard QRB at $100 less is probably the right call.

Does not come with a Touch & Go Plate, add one here.

Eight anodized color options, special order, pre-order at the top of the page.

Dimensions of the Quick Release Base Dovetail:

4-1/2″ × 6-3/4″ × 11/16″ · Weight: 1 lb 8 oz

Frequently Asked Questions about the Quick Release Base Dovetail:

What does “built-in dovetail” mean and why would I need it?
A dovetail is a sliding mount system used across camera support equipment, on heads, bridges, shoulder rigs, and other accessories. Most QRBs require a separate adapter to interface with a dovetail receiver. The QRB-DV has the dovetail machined directly into it, eliminating that adapter. If yer rig uses a dovetail receiver somewhere in the chain and you want the QRB to slide directly into it, this is the version you need.

How is it different from the standard QRB?
The only difference is the integrated dovetail. Dimensions, weight, plate compatibility, color options, lifetime repair policy, all identical to the standard QRB. The price difference ($525 vs $425) covers the additional machining.

Does it work with the Arri BP9?
Yes, same 3/8″-16 threaded holes and mounting options as the standard QRB.

Does it come with a Touch & Go plate?
No, add one here for $110. Total with T&G is $635.

How long does it take to get one?
Backorder lead time is 2–7 weeks, slightly longer than the standard QRB. Email us with yer timeline if it’s a factor.

Can I get it in color?
Yes, all eight anodized options available as special order. Pre-order at the top of the page.

Build the Full Cart System

The QRB is the centerpiece, here’s what pairs with it:

  • Touch & Go Plate, the plate that lives on yer camera. Drop in, click, done.
  • Spinner Plate, mounts under the QRB, rotates 360°. Get through doors without pulling the camera.
  • Riser, raises the QRB to proper working height on yer cart. Pairs with the Spinner for the full setup.

The Quick Release Base market breaks down like this as of 2026:

Ronford Baker, the industry standard. $634. Repairs ship to the UK. Great plate if yer okay waiting a month and paying international shipping every time something needs attention.

Shape / Wooden Camera, $351–$399. Made in China. Operators have documented failures inside a year.

Clean’s QRB, $450. Machined in the USA by a craftsman with 30 years in the industry. And here’s the part nobody else offers: it’s repairable for life, at a modest price, no matter how old it is. Send it back in five years. Ten years. We’ll fix it.

    This was something I’d been looking for for a long time. Clean’s did a great job with this and even added a thing or two to the design I wouldn’t have thought of.
