Description

XP85 Base is a replacement base plate for the Lexie L-bracket that adds both QD (quick detach) and XPAND compatibility. This makes it fully compatible with 3LT's AXIS quick detach strap system, and it can be used on its own as a multi-function quick release plate compatible with any camera with a standard ¼”-20 camera screw thread.

Built from lightweight yet robust aerospace-grade magnesium alloy, the XP85 Base features a standard 38mm / 1.5” Arca-Swiss profile, making it compatible with the majority of Arca-compatible tripods and clamps, including those from 3 Legged Thing.

The plate also features 3 Legged Thing’s Patented XPAND connector enabling it to be joined to the range of XPAND Connectors, Cheese Plates and Risers. XPAND is a versatile, modular system that enables content creators to build custom camera rigs. The connector can also be extended from the base for added versatility.

The XP85 Base features a sloped rear edge for easier access to rear flip screens. It includes an adjustable camera screw slot to allow optimal positioning, and access to battery doors on a wide variety of cameras. Rubberised pads on the base ensure a secure connection, while the stainless steel ¼”-20 camera screw attaches the plate firmly to the camera.
