Secure Your SmallHD Monitor with the Ultimate 15mm Mounting Spud
On a fast-paced set, the last thing you need is your focus-pulling monitor or director's view screen twisting, slipping, or coming loose. Unreliable mounting hardware can compromise a shot, slow down production, and damage expensive equipment. Standard friction mounts often fail under the weight and constant repositioning of modern monitors. It's time to eliminate a common point of failure in your camera rig with a solution engineered for absolute dependability.
Introducing the Upgrade Innovations SmallHD 15mm Mounting Spud, the definitive mounting point for professionals. Specifically designed to integrate flawlessly with SmallHD's 1/4-20 Pin-Lock pattern, this spud creates a rock-solid, anti-twist connection that gives you complete peace of mind. The locking pins prevent any rotation, ensuring your monitor stays exactly where you set it, frame after frame. Machined with precision from a single piece of aircraft-grade aluminum, this isn't just an accessory; it's a foundational upgrade to your entire support system.
What truly sets this mounting spud apart is our innovative, customizable O-ring system. We understand that every operator has a different preference for how their gear feels and responds. That's why we include a selection of O-rings that allow you to fine-tune the clamping force within any 15mm rod clamp. Easily configure your setup for a smooth 'slip fit' for quick repositioning, a secure 'friction fit' that holds firm but allows for adjustment, or a fully 'captive fit' that locks the component in place. This level of control allows you to tailor your rig's performance to your exact workflow.
Built to withstand the daily rigors of production environments, each spud is anodized for superior durability and corrosion resistance. Available in multiple lengths, you can choose the perfect option to suit any camera build, from compact mirrorless setups to full-size cinema rigs. For ultimate versatility, pair the spud with our renowned RudyArm articulating arm to achieve virtually any mounting angle imaginable. Stop compromising with subpar hardware. Invest in the reliability and precision engineering of Upgrade Innovations and keep your focus on what matters most—the shot.
