The Canon C400 Top Plate Mk II adds new accessory mounting points to the top of the C400; including 1/4″, 3/8”, MAP M4 and QD sockets.

Consisting of three modules that can be used individually or together, the Top Plate allows you to build on your rig without covering up core C400 features – maintaining full access.

Key Features

• Modular Design – The Top Plate comes in three independent parts that can be used independently.
• Accessory Mounting – Build on your C400 with additional mounts including a 15mm rod console, 1/4” and 3/8” screw threads, QD sockets and MAP M4 points.
• Low-Profile – The Top Plate sits on the C400 without obstructing inputs such as the cable clamp or hot shoe mount.
• Shockmount Relocation – The Top Plate provides an alternate mount for the C400’s microphone shockmount.
• Complete the Set – Use the Top Plate Filler to create a complete C400 plate.

New and improved: the Canon C400 Top Plate Mk II brings quality-of-life changes to our bestselling Canon C400 Top Plate. It features a range of accessory mounting options: 1/4” and 3/8” screw threads as well as QD sockets, MAP M4 points and a 15mm rod console across three modular plates.

Made from aerospace-grade aluminium from light weight and high durability, the C400 Top Plate is an essential tool in your filmmaking arsenal.

Clean and Convenient

The C400 Top Plate provides a level plane across the top of your camera, whilst maintaining the C400’s small footprint. You can use the two side plates independently of the 15mm rod console for an even more streamlined rig – though the rod console can’t be used without the mounting point.

Accessible

We’ve repositioned and redesigned some elements of the Top Plate for extended convenience. The QD sockets have been repositioned for use with larger top handles, and the microphone shockmount has been brought in to allow the cable clamp to be fully opened.

Accessory Mounting Freedom

Alongside the stock Canon mounts, the Top Plate also features a range of third-party accessory mounting options. Industry-standard 1/4″ and 3/8” threads line the top plate, as well as MAP M4 points and QD sockets. The front rod console has slots for two 15mm rods for mounting EVFs or lens motors (it can also be inverted for higher clearance from your camera). Two 1/4″-20 points have been marked for use specifically with handles such as our Create Top Handle.

No Filler

To create a complete plate, combine the Top Plate Mk II with our C400 Top Plate Filler Piece, which slots neatly into the central plane of the Top Plate. This full plate offers further customisation options for your camera whilst still keeping the C400 hot shoe free.

Built to Last

The C400 Top Plate Mk II is made from lightweight but durable aluminium, which is resistant to all the wear-and-tear of frequent filmmaking.
