Mounting a Starlight HD monitor to a Pro HD II sled for use as a low-mode monitor

What the thread found

  • The Starlight HD monitor can be mounted to the top rods of a Pro HD II sled to serve as a low-mode monitor in the correct position
  • Custom 3D-printed brackets exist that attach to standard sled bars and can position the monitor at different locations on the rig
  • Quattro monitor arm brackets can be adapted for mounting the Starlight HD and also function for return feeds during live productions
  • Mounting the monitor on the sled rather than on the camera allows for flexible positioning and repositioning during different types of shoots

Depends on

  • The suitability of the Starlight HD as a daylight low-mode monitor remains unconfirmed in this discussion
  • The specific brightness performance of the monitor in bright outdoor conditions was not definitively addressed
