Mounting an LCD backup monitor to a standard 1/4 x 20 threaded spigot on a monitor arm
21 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- A plate designed for a TB-6 monitor arm can be adapted by drilling an additional hole to accommodate a backup LCD monitor
- Several manufacturers have begun producing dedicated Steadicam monitor mounts that may offer compatibility with standard spigot threads
- LCD monitor mounting accessories available through major video equipment retailers may provide ready-made solutions for attaching backup monitors to existing arm assemblies
Depends on
- The TB-6 plate adaptation requires custom drilling work
- Compatibility with specific monitor arm models was not definitively established in the discussion
- The thread about availability of purpose-built spigot adapters suggests this solution may not have been readily available at the time of the discussion
