The Horizon Monitor Mount Kit for Sony FX6 / FS5 gives you freedom to place your monitor in a number of positions around the camera, but remains compact, quick to adjust (it can easily be adjusted and locked with one hand), and always keeps the monitor level.
The kit consists of the following elements:
The Horizon Arm:
The horizon arm is designed to be attached to the front of a camera top handle. The arm rotates between 16 different quick-locking positions, and at the same time always keeps the monitor orientation consistent. This means that if you have your monitor level and move the horizon arm to a new position, your monitor will remain level. The arm can also be attached in a number of other locations or orientations. A thumb lever locks/unlocks the arm's position. The horizon arm attaches to a top handle's female ⅜ ARRI pin interface on one end, and contains both a female ⅜ ARRI pin interface and a custom Light Widow interface to receive a monitor mount on the other end.
The 3-Axis Monitor Mount:
The 3-Axis monitor mount can attach to either side of the horizon arm's interface. The 3-axis mount is a first-of-its kind monitor mount that allows for pan, tilt, and roll without having to loosen or tighten any knobs. This means that, unlike other pan/twist or pan/tilt mounts on the market, the monitor can face to the side of the camera and can still tilt up or down without having to be rotated to an awkward angle. Another feature that separates the 3-Axis mount is that the rotation of the mount does not become loose over time – once the resistance is set, every axis will maintain that resistance until adjusted.
The FX6 Adapter:
Mount the Horizon Arm to the FX6 8T mount in a number of different orientations.
The L-Bracket:
The included L-Bracket is a simple 90 degree male to female adapter that can be used for attaching the Horizon arm to the top of the FX6 bracket (especially useful for when the front of the top handle is already in use by something like a rangefinder), or can be used for attaching the 3-Axis monitor mount to the Horizon arm in different configurations that work best for various shooting styles. It can also be used to adapt the 3-Axis monitor mount directly to a top handle, etc.
The Horizon Monitor Mount System is Patent Pending
