...For the past couple of years I've been using an $80 Manfrotto 482LCD ballhead to mount a Marshall 7 inch monitor on top of my GH3 camera, which has never been the most reliable fit. ( it's always kind of loose and even fell off once but I was lucky enough to catch my monitor in mid-air )
So I recently bought the ViewFactor GH4 cage ( excellent cage ) and started to look for a better way to mount my Marshall monitor on my camera. I wanted the same simple set-up, so I scrounged around for ways of mounting a solid ballhead to the ViewFactor cage and eventually found this item...
JVC Twin Shooting Mount for $13
The JVC mount wasn't designed for ballheads but it works perfectly with them.
Here I used a FLM CB-18E Ballhead ($30) which is rated for a 13 lb load.
So now I finally have a very solid monitor mount that can be angled and locked-off in almost any position...
