Ikan STR-DT12 Stratus ARRI-Standard Lightweight Aluminum Dovetail (12")

Lightweight Dovetail Plate for ARRI-Standard Camera Rigs

The Ikan STR-DT12 Stratus ARRI-Standard 12" Lightweight Aluminum Dovetail is designed to provide a durable and adjustable mounting base for professional cinema camera rigs. Built for compatibility with ARRI-style bridge plates, this 12-inch dovetail plate allows for smooth forward and backward balancing, giving you the flexibility to achieve precise rig alignment on gimbals, tripods, or shoulder mounts.

Engineered for Strength Without the Weight

This dovetail plate features a carefully machined aluminum body with precision-cut reliefs to shed unnecessary weight while maintaining structural rigidity. The result is a lightweight yet strong component that minimizes load on your support gear without compromising stability. It’s ideal for mobile shooting situations where every ounce matters, especially in Steadicam and handheld workflows.

Secure Mounting with Stopper Screw and Safety Catch

Designed with safety in mind, the STR-DT12 includes a stopper screw on one end and a safety catch on the other. This dual-lock system ensures your bridge plate stays in place during use but can be easily removed when needed. It allows for confident camera balancing while preventing accidental slips or slides during high-movement shots or transport.

Symmetrical Layout for Fast Rig Changes

The plate features a symmetrical front-to-back design, making it easy to reposition gear without having to rotate or flip the dovetail. This practical layout supports fast rigging in dynamic environments and simplifies mounting orientation when adapting to different configurations in the field.

Flexible Mounting Options for Tripods and Accessories

With multiple 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads across its length, the STR-DT12 offers plenty of mounting points for tripods, support plates, or accessories. These mounting holes are evenly spaced to ensure compatibility with a variety of camera supports, providing a versatile interface between your rig and your chosen platform.

Works Seamlessly with ARRI-Standard Bridge Plates

The STR-DT12 is fully compatible with ARRI-standard sliding bridge plates, ensuring smooth operation with common camera support systems. Whether you’re running an Alexa Mini, RED Komodo, Canon C300, or similar pro cinema setup, this dovetail plate helps maintain balance and rigidity across a wide range of builds.
