Full details
The BirdDog Monitor Mount is a specialized mounting solution designed for broadcast professionals and AV technicians who need a reliable, stable way to attach the MAKI Live camera to external monitors. Its primary benefit is the ability to achieve a seamless, low-profile camera integration that is perfect for live events, conferences, and studio setups, though users should note it is designed specifically for flat, stable mounting surfaces rather than dynamic boom-arm setups.

FAQs
Does this mount work with non-BirdDog cameras?
No, this mount is precision-engineered specifically for the MAKI Live and may not fit other camera form factors.
Can I use this on a curved monitor?
This mount is designed for flat surfaces. It will not achieve a secure connection on monitors with significant curvature.
Is the mount adjustable for different viewing angles?
The mount provides a fixed, stable base; it relies on the monitor's own tilt adjustment for camera angle changes.
Does this require special tools to install?
The mount is designed for rapid setup and typically does not require specialized tools, though a standard screwdriver may be used for final tensioning.
Will this block my monitor's screen?
The slim design is optimized to have a minimal footprint, but placement should be tested to ensure it does not obscure active screen areas.
Troubleshooting
Camera feels loose on the mount
Verify that all mounting screws are fully tightened and check that the camera base is correctly seated in the mount grooves.
Mount slips on the monitor edge
Clean both the monitor surface and the mounting pads with a small amount of isopropyl alcohol to remove oil buildup and improve grip.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the mount, ensure the monitor surface is clean and free of debris. Align the mount with the desired position on the monitor frame, ensuring the weight is centered to prevent monitor tilting. This product is strictly compatible with the MAKI Live and flat-surfaced monitors. To maintain the mount, wipe down the contact points periodically with a soft cloth to remove dust. Do not overtighten mounting hardware beyond finger-tight pressure to prevent damage to delicate monitor housings.
