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
