FAQs
What is the maximum weight capacity of this monitor mount?

It uses a 3/8”-16 ARRI-style mount, which includes ARRI-style locating pins for added stability.
Can I use this mount with any camera cage?
It is compatible with any camera cage or rig that features a 3/8”-16 ARRI-style mounting point.
How much tilt and swivel does the mount offer?
The mount offers up to 180° of tilt and 360° of swivel, with the ability to lock at any position.
Is the quick-release plate removable?
The mount itself features a male quick-release plate for attaching your monitor. The plate is an integral part of the mount's design for monitor attachment.
What is the purpose of the ARRI locating pins?
The removable ARRI locating pins help to prevent the mount and attached monitor from twisting or rotating, ensuring a more stable setup.
How do I clean and maintain the mount?
Gently wipe the mount with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures. Periodically check that all screws and connections are secure.
Troubleshooting
Monitor wobbles or feels loose
Ensure the 3/8”-16 ARRI-style mount is fully tightened onto your camera rig. Check that the ARRI locating pins are engaged if your rig has compatible holes. Tighten the monitor onto the quick-release plate securely.
Mount does not lock at desired angle
Confirm you are using the 'free-stop' feature correctly. Ensure the adjustment knobs for tilt and swivel are adequately tightened. If the issue persists, check for any obstructions preventing free movement.
Monitor is too heavy for the mount
This mount has a weight capacity of 1.2kg. If your monitor exceeds this limit, it may not hold steady or could damage the mount. Consider a heavier-duty mount for heavier monitors.
Quick-release plate is difficult to attach/detach
Ensure both the plate on the monitor and the receiver on the mount are clean and free of debris. Gently align and apply even pressure. If it's stiff, a tiny amount of dry lubricant might help, but use sparingly.
