The LeftField 3 19mm Studio Quick Release Bridgeplate from Bright Tangerine features a three-stage Open•UP locking lever. This quick release system enables you to detach the bridgeplate vertically, saving the time and effort otherwise spent sliding your camera rig off the back of a dovetail. The vertical release feature is especially handy for heavier cameras or when switching one camera between multiple supports like a handheld rig, dolly, or tripod. It also features mounting screws for a shoulder pad such as the KASBAH.

The Quick Release bridgeplate incorporates an inner plate that can be rotated to accommodate the different camera heights. This riser adapter can be swapped for separately available plates compatible with additional cameras. Bridgeplate features include 3/8"-16 camera screws, a right-side ARRI-standard rosette, and 3/8"-16 accessory threads.

This pair of Bright Tangerine Drumstix 19mm Sterling Titanium Support Rods is extremely lightweight yet amazingly stiff, allowing you to add rod-mounted accessories to your rig with virtually no flex in the rods, something every owner, operator, assistant, and rental house will appreciate. Each 12" long support rod is extremely lightweight yet exhibits less flex than carbon fiber rods of the same length, and it is lighter than either steel or aluminum rods while being at least as stiff and strong. Made from titanium, the rods are corrosion resistant, and each is machined and ground flat to prevent binding as you mount accessories.

Each titanium rod is machined and ground flat to within a tolerance of 2 microns, which prevents accessories from binding when sliding on the rod. The strength, hardness, and machining tolerances of the rod eliminate the need for the time-honored tradition of spinning the support rod in the rod clamp when trying to build the camera package.

The stiffness of each rod means you can confidently use it to support heavy lenses and matte boxes loaded with filters without worrying about the rod flexing.

Add a quick release to your Sony VENICE or VENICE 2 with the ARRI BP8 Adapter Dovetail from Bright Tangerine. Designed for use with the LeftField 15mm LWS baseplate and ARRI BP-8 or BP-9 bridge plates, this lightweight aluminum dovetail plate features multiple reinforced 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting threads, and it is designed to set your VENICE at the correct 15mm or 19mm Studio optical height. The plate features safety stops on the ends, so it doesn't slide out of the mount.
