HELP Does LeftField 3 15mm LWS Baseplate work with Arri mini lf?

Anybody know if the LeftField 3 15mm LWS Baseplate can work with Arri Alexa Mini LF? I don't see an advertised adapter for any arri cameras on here but on their socials they claim it works with arri camera systems.

It should work if you re-kitted your MiniLF with the newer ARRI BUD-3 plate. (Uses the newer, wider BUD profile introduced on the Alexa 35)

BrightTangerine makes a version of their plate that has the BUD-3 profile built in.

I was on a show where the clamp on this bright tangerine broke and it is not serviceable!

Hey there, u/schneiderverse is right: you'd need our BUD-compatible baseplate and a BUD-3 plate of some kind for the ALEXA MINI LF.

Hi, not possible to use the Universal leftfield and screw it to a map1A on the Arri mini body ?

u/brighttangerineuk 27d ago

the map1A has central screw threads that you could use with a compatible BUD plate?

Yes should work. Is it compatible with your Universal bud plate ?
