C100: Monitor Arm for BM Video Assist

[Jeremy Krzmarzick]

Just got a BM Video Assist. Really loving it over my Ninja 2. Anyone have any suggestions on rigid monitoring arm? I have a Shape Magic Arm and I get annoyed by having to tighten it and it always seems to still come loose at some point during a shoot

I have a c100 and I use the Edelkrone monitor holder, which works great. You can check it out here:

One thing, to mount it properly attach it to a Wooden Camera top plate:

The combo works great for me, though not the only option of course.

Does the BM have 2:2 pull down?

We like Ultralight a lot for a good arm that you can move into more positions than a typical Israeli arms.......you pick the arm length (5" most popular), 2 clamps, and 2 1/4 20 male balls....

there is also male and female balls (1/4 20 & 3/8) and monitor balls and a 15mm LW bridge with 1/4 20 holes.....here's their web site:
