A new Top Plate and Top Plate Filler are among the products launching at the end of October.
Bright Tangerine (UK) has officially unveiled a new suite of products purpose-built for the Canon C400; as well as a new universally-compatible Create series for selfshooting producer-directors, filmmakers and content creators. The range launched at the end of October from Bright Tangerine and will be with select retailers shortly after.
Canon C400 Accessories
Bright Tangerine are launching their new Canon C400-compatible suite of accessories. Consisting of a top plate and top plate filler, the first products in the new range provide filmmakers with a range of options for customising their Canon C400.
“The EOS C400 introduces groundbreaking filmmaking technology including a 6K Full Frame BSI sensor, unrivalled Triple Base ISO system and advanced professional connectivity. With a compact and lightweight form factor, its versatile design is suitable for an extensive range of shooting scenarios.
Canon is proud to be working with industry-leading rigging manufacturers such as Bright Tangerine to expand the capabilities of the EOS C400 further with reliable, robust, and comfortable accessories.”
– Aron Randhawa, Senior Product Marketing Specialist for Canon Cinema EOS, Pro Video & BCTV/Cine Lenses
Using a modular design, the new B4005.1030 – Canon C400 Top Plate and additional B4013.1031 – Canon C400 Top Plate Filler can be used in separate pieces to add greater versatility to your Canon camera. With a selection of accessory threads, including a 15mm rod console, the new top plate boasts Bright Tangerine’s signature quality and practically-minded design: providing professionals with a newfound level of freedom.
Both top plate and filler keep the C400’s electronic multifunction shoe free to use, and the components cater to stock Canon accessories such as the microphone shockmount. The top plate filler allows for similar customisation options with the added benefit of being a centrally-aligned standalone, ideal for minimal camera setups. Made from anodised aluminium, the top plate and top plate filler are ideal for Canon shooters looking to add value to their camera’s real-estate.
ARRI BUD Quick Release Platform
In addition to these, Bright Tangerine also now offers the B4005.1037 – LeftField 3 BUD Spacer and B4003.1036 – LeftField 3 Universal BUD Riser for pairing Canon camera systems with the B4003.1034 – LeftField 3 15mm LWS Universal Baseplate for use with ARRI Balanced Utility Dovetail (BUD) products.
The new accessories ensure correct height for 15mm LWS setups, and is also compatible with other Canon products such as the Canon C500 Mark II, the Canon C300 Mark III or the new Canon C80. Discreetly and quickly installed, the spacer makes the BUD quick-release system fully compatible with the latest Canon cameras.
Create Series
In addition to this, Bright Tangerine have also debuted a new Create series: accessories designed to offer exceptional value for money whilst retaining the premium quality that the company is known for.
These new products include:
• B4013.1001 – Cheese Plate Adapter (1/4”-20)
• B4013.1002 – Narrow Cheese Plate
• B4013.1003 – Wide Cheese Plate
• B4013.1006 – 15mm Rod Mounting Bracket (MAP M4)
• B4013.1004 – NATO Cheese Stick
Unlike the purpose-built C400 accessories, these new cheese plates and accompanying adapter are designed to be universally compatible: offering robust and long-lasting options to video creators across the market. The adapter not only angles the cheese plates but offsets them from the camera: providing useful clearance for wires. With threaded 1/4” & 3/8” anti-twist points for industry-standard equipment as well as multiple mounting orientations, this new range offers versatility for filmmakers looking for an affordable upgrade.

The C400 and Create range has been launched on Bright Tangerine’s website and will soon be in stock with affiliated retailers around the world. Kit options will also be made available, allowing filmmakers to fully expand their C400 setup.
