The KipperTie Strata-PL is the first PL to RF mount adapter specifically designed for the RED V-RAPTOR to feature a bolt-on design. It helps remove stress from the original mount when using heavy PL cinema lenses. It is now available to purchase for £700. We have already talked extensively about how the new RED V-RAPTOR is an exceptional camera. However, its native Canon RF mount system can be a double-edged sword. In fact, while it ensures compatibility with a huge number of lenses, its mirrorless-oriented design might suffer the stress of heavy PL-mount cinema lenses. Luckily, KipperTie came up with a solution for the most demanding productions and camera builds. Their new KipperTie Strata-PL, which is engineered for the RED V-RAPTOR specifically, features a bolt-on design that helps take the burden away from the camera’s RF lens mount. Let’s take a closer look. KipperTie Strata-PL for RED V-RAPTOR.

This means that it bolts directly to the front of the RED V-RAPTOR’s body via four 1/4”-20 stainless steel screws. Its design perfectly matches the front profile of the camera. The original RF mount only serves as a reference point for positioning the Strata-PL, but it doesn’t sustain any weight. This allows the use of heavier PL lenses without the risk of damaging the native RF mount. KipperTie Strata-PL for RED V-RAPTOR.
