SmallRig Adjustable EVF Mount with Nato Clamp

  • One of the best mounts I have found to mount a monitor!

    SmallRig Adjustable EVF Mount with NATO Clamp MD3507 is designed to mount a monitor and other accessories onto a camera kit, allowing free repositioning of accessories in a variety of shooting scenarios. It supports any monitor of up to 1.5kg and enables 360-degree adjustment via three pivot points. Its spindle arm can be extended to a maximum of 62mm to meet the demand for different monitoring distances. With universal NATO clamps at both ends and NATO rail, you can assemble and disassemble the EVF mount quickly and mount it anywhere with no NATO rail. In addition, the tightness of each pivot point can be adjusted via the knob wrench.

  • My flash - the build quality is good and it feels solid and is feature rich - supporting e-TTL (II), HSS, 2nd curtain sync, wireless master and optical slave modes, auto and manual zoom, flash exposure compensation, flash exposure bracketing and much more… YN568EX II is a great alternative to much more expensive Canon 580EX II, 430EX II or 600EX-RT flash speedlites, offering the same functions and same or more power at much lower price.
