The Light Widow Horizon Monitor Mount Kit positions a camera monitor above or beside the camera, adjusts with one hand, and keeps the monitor level automatically as you move it. It's a compact, modular mount built to solve a daily annoyance: repositioning a monitor and then having to re-level it every time.
What it does
The Horizon Kit mounts a monitor to your camera's top handle or accessory points and lets you place it in a range of positions, high for a low camera, off to the side for a gimbal or shoulder rig, while always keeping the screen level. Everything is quick to adjust and locks with one hand, so you can reframe the monitor without stopping the shot.
The Horizon arm and 3-axis mount
Two parts do the work. The Horizon Arm rotates through 16 quick-locking positions with a thumb lever, so you can swing the monitor where you need it and lock it solidly. The 3-Axis Monitor Mount then gives you pan, tilt and roll without loosening or tightening any knobs, you just move it and it holds. Together they make repositioning fast and repeatable, and the resistance stays consistent over time rather than working loose.

Who it's for
Operators and ACs who move a monitor between positions, tripod to shoulder to gimbal, and want it level and locked every time, without a pocket full of knobs. It's light enough to leave on the rig and fast enough to trust on the day.
