Mounting bracket for attaching an LCD monitor to a Steadicam Master series monitor
19 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A secondary LCD monitor can be mounted to the bottom of a Master series monitor using a hard plastic plate connected via elongated screws.
- The mounting screws must be installed center first, then the sides, to avoid internal CRT disconnection.
- Proper screw length is critical—screws that are too short will not secure the connection, while oversized screws can press into internal components.
- Adding a washer between the mounting plate and monitor housing can compensate for screw length variations.
- Alternative mounting methods include Velcro attachment between monitors or using a separate bracket system with spigots to allow quick swapping between different monitor types.
Depends on
- Specific dimensions and screw sizes were not provided in the discussion.
- The exact mounting location and hole specifications for the Master series monitor were not detailed.
- One participant mentioned carrying extra weight as a concern with this setup.
- The long-term reliability and safety of this homemade bracket system was not thoroughly tested or documented.
