What the thread found

• Soft mounting by wearing the rig on your body while riding the intended vehicle can be an alternative to hard mounting when no direct hard mount exists.
• Tiffen manufactures a retroactive mount system that adapts the distinctive SK arm to use the standard socket block configuration found in master series equipment.
• A custom mounting solution can be fabricated by having a machinist create an aluminum block sized to fit the SK arm hole and drill perpendicular holes to accommodate U-clamps that connect to speed rail or similar support structures.

Depends on

• The SK camera arm connection is described as having limited mounting options and few commercially available hard mount solutions exist.
• The effectiveness and practicality of the custom machining approach depends on access to appropriate machining services and speed rail infrastructure.
• The tiffen retrofit product compatibility with SK equipment was not confirmed with certainty in the discussion.
