Mounting a monitor onto 15mm rails?

What is the cheapest way to mount an external monitor onto a pair of 15mm rods? It seems like to buy all the parts necessary for an articulating arm it requires hundreds of dollars. Seems extraordinary just to pay for a mounting device..

:bath:
 
Ive just had some of these made in 15mm60

Would allow it direct on the rails - say behind the camera

DOnt know the price now but 10s not 100s

I'll take 10 please! But seriously, very interested, I would like to replace all the crap ones that came with my rails.
 
how much for those as well, im interested.

Also do you have a similar clamp that could hold one set of rails to another set?

(like if you want your camera on the left side, and shoulder pad on the right side, to keep the camera directly in front of your face)

That is a beta product

With 15mm I would hope to incorporate the threading/lock nuts to make it a fairly flush fit around the rails to clear the tripod at the bottom and give a flat or close to flat surface up top

Would cost more than $24.99 !

More like Zacuto prices X 0.75

Just got done with a shoot using a Zacuto monitor arm. Yeah it's expensive but it's freaking amazing.

Even if you don't get something as nice do not under estimate the versatility afforded to you by an articulating arm.
 
to be honest i think I'm going with the zacuto arm. Just can't sacrafice on quality when you look at it in terms of the long run
 
Understandable, but there are a lot of us that can't justify spending more on a monitor arm than the monitor that attaches to it, haha
