Introducing the XCHANGE Database

The XCHANGE Base: foundation of the quick-release fastening system

The heart of the XCHANGE system, the XCHANGE Base transforms any support with a 3/8-inch into an ultra-fast creative platform. Machined from hard-anodized aluminum and capable of supporting up to 20 kg, it allows for seamless transitions between camera, ball head, slider, or lighting accessory, without sacrificing stability.

Designed for performance and mobility

At only 38 mm high and 60 mm in diameter, the XCHANGE Base remains discreet in your bag while ensuring secure locking thanks to its double-locking mechanism. Its universal 3/8 compatibility allows it to be mounted on a tripod, monopod , or even a video rig without an additional adapter.

Speed, precision, versatility

In product photography, switch from a ball head to a fluid head for silky smooth panoramas; in the studio, replace the camera with an LED light stand in seconds. The XCHANGE Base keeps your workflow uninterrupted, so your creativity is the only limit.
