Good articulated arm for monitor?
Hi Guys,
I'm looking for a good articulated arm for my 7 inch lilliput monitor. I was looking into the Varizoom VZ-AR-5K (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/produc...Joint_Arm.html) because it looks very versatile (which is a big plus, since sometimes I have to put the monitor upside down and sometimes I don't) but it doesn't say how much weight it can handle. Although it looks versatile it also gives me this fragile vibe and I don't know if it could handle the monitor's weight, plus the power cable and the camera to monitor cable. I'm probably being silly but I would feel safer to hear from someone who's used it before. thanks |

I use a Noga arm MG11043 mounted to my rails for monitor support. |

I have lots of Manfrotto Variable Friction Arms (similar to Manfrotto Magic Arms) with various brackets and adaptors.
My Lilliput monitor has a standard camera thread on it, so I use the arm with a camera adaptor plate. Here's some picture you should be able to view. http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/albu...photo=86824952 http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/albu...photo=86824979 http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/albu...photo=86825349 http://www.photobox.co.uk/album/albu...photo=86825316 It's a really strong design. The spigots on the end of the arm are threaded and have a flat surface to stop unwanted rotation of the plates you may add to it. Brilliant desigh throughout. I use them for holding readheads in difficult locations, supporting boom mics. I've shot timelapse stills photography with them etc. etc. Duncan |
