The bridge and support plate
With the bridge plate the cameraman can evenly distribute
the weight of the camera when it is being used on a tripod. It
is mainly used with extremely long lenses or when several
accessories are used at the same time. The base plate (a) of
the bridge plate (b), is fastened with the tripod thread to the
tripod.
The upper part, to which the camera is secured, can be
moved forwards and backwards on the dove-tail guide until
the optimal centre of gravity is found, and then fastened.
When the clamping lever (c) is released the camera can be
removed in seconds from the tripod.
The bridge plate support rods (d) can be adjusted and are
used to support the following accessories: universal follow
focus system, servo zoom, lens supports and the production
matte box.
