Mounting options for Marshall 6.5" monitor on camera sleds
14 years old. Gear and prices may have changed since.
What the thread found
- Standard pole mounts for the Marshall 6.5" monitor may shift under the weight of the monitor and battery, requiring a more stable solution.
- The Marshall 6.5" monitor can be powered via an 8-pin LEMO cable connected to compatible camera power sources, eliminating the need for an on-monitor battery in some setups.
- The monitor battery can serve as a counterweight for camera batteries when the monitor is mounted on the sled.
- Custom yoke mounts for the Marshall 6.5" can be fabricated by third-party manufacturers since Marshall does not produce yokes for this monitor size.
- AB-mount equipped yokes designed for other monitors may be adaptable to the Marshall 6.5" with modification.
Depends on
- Marshall does not manufacture yokes for the 6.5" monitor model.
- The 8-pin LEMO power solution may not be compatible with all camera configurations.
- Custom fabrication options were mentioned but no universal aftermarket solution was confirmed in the thread.
- The discussion references a 3A sled specifically, so solutions may need adaptation for different sled models.
