Abstract: The present disclosure discloses a camera base plate, which includes a plate body and a wrench. The plate body is defined with a battery avoiding port corresponding to an opening of a battery compartment of a camera. The battery avoiding port extends along a thickness direction of the plate body. The wrench is rotatably connected to the plate body through a damping assembly, and the wrench defines a part of a side wall of the battery avoiding port. In the present disclosure, the wrench can rotate to be gradually opened so as to define a gap in the battery avoiding port. After the plate at the opening of the camera's battery compartment is fully opened, a portion of the plate extends into the gap, thereby the plate can be opened completely, such that the battery can be removed or placed without detaching the camera from the camera base plate.
