Re: the Marshall V-R70P-HDA . . .
Yes, Donlin is where I got mine.
And yes, it does have a mount that can be unscrewed/screwed and placed on any of the four sides of the monitor. So, "flipping" the image for use with a 35mm adapter (such as the M2) is super easy.
I mounted my Marshall monitor on top of my HVX but not on the hot shoe. I prefer it closer so I used the thread that is on the top of the handle and closer to the eyepiece.
To do this, I bought a Bogen Manfrotto Midi Ball Head 484 with the appropriate screw. It cost around $50 all together over at Film Tools in Burbank.
For me, it seems to be sturdy enough, as long as I'm not swinging the camera all around real hard and it's especially good for locked down shots on a tripod and such. Just be careful not to strip the thread or get the screw stuck by overtightening. For more robust (run n' gun) shots, I'd clamp the monitor to a Fig Rig or something.
