Polaris Baseplate System

The Polaris Baseplate System is Zacuto’s own ‘Arca Swiss’ compatible quick release system. It works with every Mirrorless and DSLR camera and can be purchased in stages. The Polaris Baseplate system consists of a camera plate, mounting plate (combined is the Polaris QR Mount) and a 15mm rod support base. Therefore, to help you customize and grow your rig, we have additional accessories that are Polaris compatible- our Mirrorless camera cages and Polaris Shoulder Pad. Let’s build your perfect mirrorless or DSLR camera rig!

For a quick release system, start with the Polaris QR Plate (PQR). If you need to add rods to your rig, you have two options. The first option, use your existing QR Plate and add the Polaris Rod Support to create the Polaris Baseplate. The second option, purchase a complete Polaris Baseplate and use your existing Polaris QR plate for the tripod quick release. This system allows you to build and customize as you see fit.

Zacuto’s mirrorless camera cages are Polaris compatible- the camera plate is built-into the bottom of the cages allowing you to quickly transition between shooting styles. Our cages are form-fitting, lightweight and compact. They include a comfortable hand strap so you can utilize the natural grip of the camera. Our cages also featured built-in Z-Rail and numerous ¼ 20 screw holes so you can mount all your accessories as well as side and top handles!

Zacuto’s mirrorless cages include the Panasonic GH5/GH5s, Sony A7III, A7RIII and A9, Blackmagic 4K Pocket Camera, Nikon Z7/Z6, Panasonic S1, and Fuji X-T3. By adding the Polaris camera plate, you can mount any camera or any manufacturer’s cage to the Polaris system.
