Combining a comfortable shoulder mount with power distribution, this Chrosziel LWS Baseplate + Virtus Mini Kit for Sony FS5 allows you to build an advanced configuration with a simple and unified power solution. This kit includes the Chrosziel FS5 LWS baseplate with 15 mm rods, the Virtus Mini power distribution box, rear 15 mm rods, and a rear rod support.nnThe LWS baseplate is the centrepiece of this configuration, supporting 15 mm accessories and enabling easy mounting of the FS5. The integrated shoulder pad is movable to achieve comfortable positioning and balance, and with the rear rod support and included 15 mm rods, it can be attached to Chrosziel's Quick-Lock plate or any VCT-14 plate.nnEssential for building your kit with electronic components, the Virtus Mini is a power distribution box that easily attaches to the rear rods via its integrated clamp. It efficiently draws power from a single Sony BP-U battery and distributes it to multiple devices simultaneously. The multiple outputs ensure that your entire configuration requires only a single power source, reducing downtime due to battery changes. The included LEMO 2-pin to jack plug connector allows the FS5 to draw power from the Virtus Mini; cables for other devices can be purchased separately.nnnPower DistributionnIn collaboration with ACSE-GmBH, Chrosziel includes the Virtus Mini power distribution box to power not only your FS5 camera, but also any other accessory in your configuration requiring power, from a single source. The outputs offered on the Virtus Mini are one regulated and switchable Hirose 7.5/8.6V output, three unregulated LEMO 2-pin 12V outputs, and two convenient USB outputs.nnnUnified DesignnnWith this LWS configuration, all parts come together to form a unified and weight-balanced configuration. With the extended baseplate, the configuration mounts perfectly on Chrosziel's Quick-Lock tripod plate, available separately. In shoulder mount mode, the battery and Virtus Mini combined create a counterweight that balances the FS5, allowing longer shooting periods without fatigue.nnnnSpecificationsnn
