Mounting a monitor off to the side of the camera can be challenging, but the new Mid49 TWIST Mount makes it easier to rig and adjust.
The Mid49 TWIST Mount Monitor Kit includes the Double Sided NATO Rail to 15mm Rod, which can attach to a sideways 15mm rod clamp like the optional items Multi-Function Rod Bracket (MFRB 15mm LW), Single 15mm Rod Clamp (M4 x 20mm), or Canon 1/4-20 Striped Rosette 15mm Rod Clamp.
The NATO rail has built-in variable friction via the thumbscrew, and safety pins are on each end to prevent accidental accessory removal.
Included is the TWIST Mount EVF Knuckle, which has a NATO clamp on one end and a variable friction 15mm mount on the other. With the variable friction design, you can grab and twist the monitor without loosening the thumbscrew.
You can also relocate the monitor to the top or right side and rotate the monitor, giving you lots of viewing options.
The Right Angle Spud Adapter allows monitors without side mounting points to be adapted to the TWIST Mount system and includes three lengths of 15mm rod with the TWIST groove on the end: 50mm, 100mm, and 150mm.
Choose the appropriate Spud screw type, attach it to the top or bottom of your monitor, choose the appropriate length of the rod, and install it into the TWIST Knuckle.
