[0.185 lb] It would seem that most of the reviews here are probably for the old design. The new one has set screws in back for retaining the tension.
Loosen the two back set screws (tiny ones), then set the side bolts to the appropriate friction, tighten the back set screws and it holds.

[Black] Works great for ninja V . The Allen key used to tighten the locks are the same size as the one built in to my small rig cage which is very convenient. There was an older version of this same mount that gets worse reviews this one is fantastic.

[Black] This Baseplate is my second item from the brand and for both of them I would say they are smartly designed, lightweight, very rigid with a quality mechanical execution. I'm now a fan of the brand.

[Black] I love that this is so adjustable for weight and orientation. I had a basic nato monitor mount and found it to be too bulky for travel to leave attached.

[0.185 lb] In Love with this! Specially with the bridge plate with Riser!

[0.185 lb] Better than the one by small rig for mounting your external recorder.

[Black] I am using this with an Atomos 5 monitor wrapped with a SmallRig cage, B&H #SMCMA2305B&H. It clamps onto the Nato rail built into the cage just fine, no need for an additional Nato rail mounted to the bottom of the cage. I attach the bottom end of the clamp to this SmallRig top handle #SM3765. I like the the ability to adjust the tension of the swivel mount (see Kondor Blue video). Gonna buy a second with a second monitor.

[0.185 lb] I could be wrong about this, others are prone to disagree, but it gets complicated. This was purchased to complement the Kondor Blue 501 Adjustable Baseplate. Without this piece of nicely machined, symmetrical alloy, spring releases on both ends, there isn't a large flat surface on the Baseplate to attach directly to any other surface. The Dovetail fits nicely into the Baseplate. Dandy. With some platforms that might well be sufficient. However, most tripod heads and surface mounts have their own dovetail receptacle which require yet another dovetail plate. What you end up with is plates mounted back to back, or more accurately: front to front. Or am I missing something?

One minor annoyance: my two plates front to front were not thick enough for the length of a standard ¼-20 camera attachment screw. The end of the screws impede the free sliding of the baseplate along the dovetail. Had to add a bit of spacer between the two dovetails.

I know- clear as mud. But there you have it.

[0.185 lb] This monitor mount is as compact as it gets. I thought they must have sent me the wrong thing when I saw the little box! Compactness and strength are the most important things her, and this excels at both! It's like half the size of the Smallrig mounts.

[0.185 lb] Excellent piece of hardware.


My only criticism is that I wish it was quicker to attach and remove from a camera cage for rebuilds. But that might compromise it's integrity and am ok with that for now.
