Join Steve Weiss and Jens Bogehegn as they explain why the Zacuto Zephyr300 is the only lightweight support plate option currently available on the market for the Panasonic HPX300.

Panasonic changed the way LWS plates mount to the bottom of their cameras with the introduction of three new support pillars on the HPX300. Zacuto’s new Zephyr300 takes advantage of this change to create a plate that uses 7 points of contact to secure the plate to the camera. Working in conjunction with the Panasonic Quick Release Plate, the Zephyr300 allows users to adjust rods up, down, left and right to align the matte box to the camera lens. Weighing a mere 8 ounces, it offers rock solid stability while allowing access to every button feature on the front of the camera. In the video, Steve and Jens illustrate the plate’s strengths, while providing a sneak preview of the new Zacuto “Z-Crank.” The Zephyr300 can be purchased online at store.zacuto.com/Zephyr300.html
