V-RAPTOR™ Quick Release Platform Pack
The V-RAPTOR™ Quick Release Platform Pack provides a compact lightweight shooting configuration for V-RAPTOR users. The system features an Arca Swiss-style camera plate and secure safety lock system, which gets the camera to the correct optical height for 15 mm LWS accessories such as, matte boxes, lens supports, and wireless follow focus systems.
The Arca Plate is useful for securely attaching other V-RAPTOR accessories, such as the Expander Blade, V-Lock or Gold Mount Battery Adapters, Side Ribs, Anti-Tip Plate, and Production Plates.
RED designed this elegant solution for V-RAPTOR in collaboration with Dominick Aiello and Creative Solutions.
