What the thread found
- The official Blackmagic mounting plate weighs 5 pounds and is constructed from aircraft aluminum with drilled holes
- Velcro can be used to secure the Hyperdeck while protecting the mounting surface
- Custom mounting brackets can be fabricated to accommodate V-mount assemblies or standard 3/8 inch threaded holes for quick attachment and removal
- Side mounting the Hyperdeck is an alternative configuration option depending on rig setup
- The Hyperdeck can be mounted to monitors or camera rigs in ways that keep all functions accessible without requiring removal
Depends on
- The weight specification of the official plate was initially uncertain and questioned in the discussion
- Custom mounting solutions require fabrication and vary based on individual equipment configurations
- Availability of the official mounting plate varied by region at the time of discussion
