SmallRig 8'' Lightweight ARRI Dovetail Plate #DPR2304 is a 8-inch ARRI-style dovetail plate for a camera rig that needs providing a fore-aft sliding base for compatible cinema-camera support hardware. It is available from Filmgear Canada for Vancouver crews and productions across Canada.

Product Overview

The DPR2304 purchase decision starts with 8-inch length and ARRI dovetail geometry. It functions as ARRI dovetail plate and a camera mounting plate. Before mounting it, check the receiving thread or rail, screw engagement, orientation, available clearance, cable path, operating access, balance, and the combined load of every attached item.

Customer Reviews (4.8 / 5 · 5 reviews)

Charlotte X. ★★★★★

The aluminum feels sturdy but still lightweight, and the anti-twist design keeps my camera rock-solid during quick pans. Sliding the rig forward to balance a heavy lens was effortless—a huge upgrade from my old plate.

Hazel U. ★★★★★

The 8-inch length gives me just enough travel to balance my rig without adding bulk, and it locks down rock solid with no flex when I tighten the clamps. Weighs almost nothing, so it’s easy to leave on the camera between shoots.

Grace ★★★★★

Picked this up to balance my camera rig and the sliding mechanism is buttery smooth. The 8-inch length gives me just the right amount of adjustment for lens changes.
