Once mounted, you can then easily mount your dovetail base plate directly onto it. The system is built around the industry-standard 15mm LWS rod system; it clamps onto 15mm rails for accessories attachment, allowing you to build a complete, functional rig with essential tools such as a follow focus, matte box, lens support, or external battery mounts.

This mounting kit is designed for universal compatibility, empowering you to integrate it seamlessly into your existing equipment. It can attach to any tripod plate or other standard bridge plate, such as the SmallRig 1642, making it an incredibly versatile addition to any gear bag.

The integrated 15mm rail block clamps securely onto standard 15mm rods, providing a stable and reliable platform for all your critical accessories. By adding a follow focus for precise rack focusing, a matte box for controlling lens flare, or a lens support for heavy glass, you elevate your production value and gain the creative control needed for professional-quality results. This centralizes your rig´s structure, making it more cohesive and easier to handle.

Master Your Balance

The standout feature of the SmallRig 1798 is the exceptional balance control it provides. The built-in 40mm horizontal adjustment range is a game-changer for front-heavy setups. This sliding groove allows you to shift your camera package forward or backward with precision, enabling you to find the perfect center of gravity. Achieving proper balance reduces strain on your tripod head, prevents unwanted camera drift during static shots, and allows for smoother, more effortless pans and tilts. This level of control is crucial for capturing fluid, cinematic camera movements.
