The Kupo Camera Cradle is a secure docking cradle that allows you to place your camera on a stand. This is quite a niche product but it might be of interest to some of our readers.
It is made from high-quality European Beechwood, and it features a 3/8”-16 female thread for quick mounting. It also comes with a special ball head adapter that allows you to mount the cradle to either a 5/8” baby pin by using the inside baby receiver, or remove the locking knob and you have a 1-1/8” junior stud for junior receivers.
Key features
- Secure Docking Cradle for Camera Rig
- Fits Rigs up to 17.5″ Long
- Hook-and-Loop Strap, Rail Holder
- 3/8″-16 Thread and Ball Head Adapter

The Camera Cradle comes with a removable white nylon rail holder that accommodates both standard diameters, 15mm and 19mm. There are multiple mounting slots designed to accept several Tethermate accessories designed with a “U” shaped sliding plate such as a cup holder and a v-mount battery plate, as well as many others that can be mounted in seconds without tools.
The cradle is equipped with two steel handles designed for easy handling, plus a Velcro strap to secure the camera rig to the cradle through the side handles. A non-slip carpet sticks firmly to the cradle and not only prevents it from sliding off but also protects the camera from scratches.
Four metal tapped 3/8-16 hole inserts are integrated into the cradle to accept any accessory with a 3/8-16 male thread. The camera cradle can accommodate camera rigs up to 10.8” (275mm) wide and camera rigs from 12.3” (313mm) to 17.5” (445mm) in length.
This product looks very, very similar to the birnbox that is made by Scott Birnkrant.
In fact, Scott is claiming that Kupo’s product is an exact copy of his design. I will attempt to reach out to Kupo to see what their response is.
