The perfect foundation for Sony shooters, the Base Kit for Sony VENICE Extension System Mini gives you a compact rigging setup with full VENICE compatibility. The Base Kit expands the potential of the camera extension without blocking core features such as the cable slot or vents.

With an array of mounting possibilities including standard 1/4″ and 3/8” screw threads as well as MAP M4, QD sockets and 15mm support rods; the Base Kit offers freedom and functionality in a lightweight package.

In-Depth Customisation

The Base Kit for Sony VENICE Extension System Mini offers a range of accessory mounting options, giving you the freedom to set up your camera extension however you need. The Top, Rear and Side Plates feature an array of 1/4″, 3/8” and MAP M4 sockets; with locating pins to ensure a secure hold for larger accessories. Combine this with the Sliding Top Handle, which offers additional support via QD sockets and a Cold Shoe mount.

Handle with Ease

The Sliding Top Handle included in the Base Kit is ideal for both carrying the VENICE Extension and for shooting handheld footage. Mounted to the Top Plate via two 1/4″-20 screws, the handle itself can slide forwards and backwards for optimal balance. Combine it with our Handle Extensions to create a custom Top Handle for any shooting scenario.

15mm Rod Support

The Top Bar Bracket adds even more functionality to your VENICE Extension System Mini, with two 15mm rod brackets. Attaching to the base of the Top Handle, the Bar Bracket is useful for mounting EVFs, lens motors and other accessories; and can be flipped to place the rods higher or lower above your lenses.

Compact and Convenient

Despite the vast range of customisation that the Base Kit offers, your setup remains slim and streamlined. Each of the plates adds just over a centimetre of thickness to the camera body, and adds minimal weight thanks to their anodised aluminium build. Core VENICE components, such as the drop-in ND filter slots and side vents, are kept clear for smooth operation.

Built to Last

Don’t mistake their lightness for weakness, however: our aluminium is aerospace-grade for long-lasting performance. All components are resistant to corrosion and to withstand the usual wear-and-tear – they’ll be just as sturdy on the twentieth take as the first.
