Chinese manufacturer CineGearFactory recently released the BP2 19mm lightweight studio bridge plate, compatible with standard ARRI dovetails. The bridge plate adaptor features a universal design compatible with every mirrorless/cinema camera, including RED, ARRI, Canon, and Sony high-end camera models.
