Base Manfrotto MVAQR-BASE Black Aluminium 20kg Capacity

MOVE is a quick-release base designed to speed up workflow on set by allowing fast, tool-free switching between tripods, motion control gear, stabilizers and other supports. The system uses a flat 60 mm diameter base with a standard 3/8" thread that acts as a universal connector; bases attach to support units and plates attach to camera systems so gear can be swapped rapidly without screwing and unscrewing plates. The Manfrotto MVAQR-BASE is machined from hard-anodized aluminium, measures 60 mm in diameter and 37 mm in height, weighs 180 g and supports a payload of up to 20 kg.

Advantages

The MOVE base provides a universal, flat connector that reduces downtime when changing setups and is compatible with a wide range of supports thanks to its standard 3/8" thread. Its hard-anodized aluminium construction offers strength and corrosion resistance while keeping weight low, and the compact dimensions ensure ergonomic handling across different shooting configurations.

Suitable for

• Photographers and videographers using tripods, sliders or monopods
• Motion control rigs and stabilizers requiring quick camera swaps
• On-location and studio shoots where rapid reconfiguration is needed

How to use

Attach a MOVE base to each support unit (tripod, slider, gimboom or monopod) using the standard 3/8" thread. Mount a compatible MOVE plate to the camera head, stabilizer or motion control system. To change set-ups, place the plate onto the desired base and engage the quick-release connection; reverse the process to remove the camera. No tools are required for typical swap operations, though ensure threads are clean and correctly engaged before lifting the load.

Recommendations

For safe operation, verify that the combined weight of camera and accessories does not exceed the 20 kg payload. Regularly inspect the base and plate threads for wear or debris and tighten connections before each use. Use one base per support and one plate per camera system to achieve the fastest, most reliable swaps.
