    Posted by Marcus Eden on April 22, 2011 at 4:44 am

    Im looking for a very durable/cost effective magic arm to mount my 8inch lilliput monitor to my DSLR set up. I would like to mount to my 15mm rod supports, but unfortunately I can not find a durable and cost effective arm to do so.

    I would love to purchase a zacuto arm, but a tad bit out of my price range for now.

    Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated….

    What is your price range? Is this a shoulder mount rig? If not, you could mount it on the camera shoe.

    No, not a shoulder rig, just standard rails and follow focus. But my price range is about $100. And I was trying to avoid the shoe mount on my 7d, although i am liking the arm jag35 makes. but again i would much rather throw the arm on my 15mm rods

    This place has a lot of low cost alternatives.
