This dovetail mounts onto your camera and lets you quickly switch between the LeftField 15mm LWS Baseplate to gimbal or handheld in seconds. It also lets you mount the camera directly onto Manfrotto 501PL standard tripods and receivers.
Universal Fit
The dovetail includes three camera mounting screws (two 3/8-16” & a ¼-20”). Using the three captive screws on the captive shuttle, the camera can be securely mounted with no twisting or movement.
The channel allows the camera to be balanced on the plate for weight distribution with the extra width providing added stability while removing any flex.
The screws can be removed when not required for smaller cameras with one or two mounting points.
Manfrotto 501PL Compatible
The dovetail uses the commonly used Manfrotto 501PL standard. Mount directly onto Manfrotto, Sachtler fluid heads and more that use the 501PL standard. Laser etched markers along the length of the dovetail let ACs mark down balanced positions on the gimbal.
When paired with our LeftField Manfrotto quick release risers, the camera is set at the correct height for 15mm LWS support & accessories.
Support For Accessories
Lens adapters can be secured using the front channel and supplied screws. Depending on the camera height, not all lens feet will be compatible or require spacers.
Extra Care Comes Standard
Machined and hand-finished in our single factory in Church Crookham from high-grade materials. Hard anodised for extended durability. The LeftField Manfrotto Dovetail comes with our famous Bright Tangerine Support and the addition of a 2-year warranty.
