Securely Expand Your Rig with the MMS 15mm Non-Twist Mounting Spud
Unlock new levels of versatility and stability for your professional camera or monitor setup with the Upgrade Innovations MMS 15mm Non-Twist Mounting Spud. Designed for filmmakers, camera assistants, and DITs who demand reliability, this compact yet robust accessory is the ultimate solution for expanding your rig's capabilities. Say goodbye to frustrating, unstable accessory mounts that loosen at critical moments. The Non-Twist spud creates a rock-solid, hard-mounted connection point, ensuring your valuable monitors, wireless transmitters, and other essential gear stay exactly where you put them, shot after shot.
Engineered for seamless integration, the spud attaches directly to the M5 thread found on all recent Upgrade Innovations Monitor Mounts. Installation is quick and straightforward, requiring only a standard 5/32" or 4mm hex key. Once mounted, it provides a universally compatible 3/8" tapped thread on top, ready to receive a wide range of accessories, from articulated arms like our Rudy Arm system to any existing gear in your kit. This simple addition transforms your monitor mount into a central hub for your entire on-camera ecosystem, streamlining your build and reducing clutter.
What truly sets this mounting spud apart is its intelligent design. It features innovative captive and friction o-rings, giving you complete control over the feel of your 15mm clamp-on devices. By arranging the included o-rings in the precision-machined grooves, you can customize the fit from a free-sliding slip to a secure friction hold, all the way to a captive fit that prevents accessories from accidentally falling off during adjustments. Crafted from a single piece of black anodized aircraft-grade aluminum, this spud is built to withstand the daily rigors of a fast-paced production environment, offering a dependable mounting point you can trust. Elevate your workflow, secure your gear, and build a smarter, more efficient rig today.
