(New Version) SMALLRIG Camera Monitor Mount with Cold Shoe Adapter, 360° Swivel and 180° Tilt Adjustable Monitor Holder with Thumbscrew, Anti-twist Design, Max Payload 2.3kg - 2905B

I bought this as a quick-to-set-up alternative to my caged rig, so that I could mount my monitor - a fairly weighty Atomos Ninja V - straight to the hot shoe of my Sony A7S III for run and gun jobs.My first concern before buying was how secure and trustworthy this would be holding the screen - and I have to say that after just one use I knew I could rely on this. It grips naturally yet very firmly to the cold shoe - it doesn't feel like it's causing damage or stress to the hot shoe just by being attached.My second concern would be how well it grips the screen - well, it has locator pins as well as the screw thread, so it attaches and unattached super easy, stays lined up, and again feels solid and very trustworthy.My third concern was how easy it was to adjust one attached, as I have another variant on my full cage rig, as that is a slow adjuster that needs a tool to do so, not great for on the fly adjustments. Not the case with this one - easy, no tool needed and locks incredibly solidly.These smallrig items are always worth the cost over lesser items in my experience. Recommended.

A lovely piece of engineering, with a feeling of quality. Not the usual plastic rubbish

I bought this monitor mount because it is one of the few out there that has a screw mount on the coldshoe.A very useful thing.As far as stability is concerned it is fantastic. The allen key supplied allows you to adjust the tension for rotation but there is no adjustment for the monitor pivot. Even when the wing nut is off the effort to tilt the screen is a little bit nerve wracking. It may loosen with a lot of use but be prepared.

Smallrig quality. Small but mighty. Replaced the monitor mount that came with my Desview R6 which was a liability! Mount can be trusted to keep monitor in position you want it. Once locked in place it stays locked solid! No creep, even with cage, microphone etc adding to weight. Brilliant

Always reluctant to leave reviews, because at the time of purchase or a few months after. Everything is great... then stops working etc in my experience.I have bought several cheaper cold shoe mounts over the years and they were garbage!The Smallrig mount initially looks like a lot of money for a mount but trust me it's actually cheaper in the long run.It secures to the camera, or any hotshoe TIGHTLY without loosening, falling off with anything attached to it, or coming to pieces in your hands after a few uses.I now have a few things from Smallrig. They are starting to be my 'Go to' company for all my videography accessory needs.

Great quality a little hard to “fold” but then it means it won’t move for no reason.It’s all metal construction so it’s not extra light but it’s very well made and will last for ages

Pretty well designed like all small rig equipment and has made my rig a lot more compact

Love this upgrade from smallrig. The old version you had to change tension of the tilt with an Allen key - a real pain to be honest - but this version is perfect - means no matter what weight you put on it (within reason) you can find just the right amount of tension that you need. And if it starts to loosen you can fix in a blink. Solidly made and a good price. I’ll def buy again.
