Split Bridge Plates BP-10 & BP-11
The BP-10 & 11 facilitate the balancing of the 416 on the tripod and elevate it to the proper height for the
mounting of accessories. They separate into two pieces to allow a quick change between tripod and hand-held
operation. The BP-10 uses 19 mm support rods where the BP-11 uses 15 mm support rods. The bridge plates
consist of the Accessory Carrier, the Sled, the Base Plate and a pair of 240 mm long Support Rods. To release
the Accessory Carrier from the Sled, release the lock lever on the Accessory Carrier, press the safety lock on
the Sled and pull the Accessory Carrier back and up. There are two release positions: The first is for use with
Lightweight Support mounted accessories (e.g. FF-4 – lens stays on camera) and the second is to clear the PL
mount of a large lens when quick disengagement of the camera is desired. A second person should secure the
lens in that case.
The Accessory Carrier attaches to the camera base and accepts the 416 Shoulder Pad and 416 Left Rod Bracket.
Combined with the Sled, the Accessory Carrier works like a conventional bridge plate.
The Accessory Carrier will also attach to the Wedge Plate so a 416 in hand-held configuration can be
securely snapped into a tripod head when not in use.
416 Left Rod Bracket
The 416 Left Rod Bracket attaches to the Accessory Carrier for the fitting of a single 19 mm rod for use with
the Lightweight Follow Focus or a lens motor. It also has an Accessory Rosette for use with a left hand grip.
