Monty 1 Cold Shoe Mount

The Monty 1 is a compact pan-and-tilt head that attaches to any cold shoe or hotshoe on cameras and rigs. It provides a 1/4"-20 threaded base for securing monitors, microphones, LED lights, and similar accessories. Photographers and videographers who need fast, tool-free repositioning of lightweight gear will find it fits directly into existing shoe mounts without extra plates.

Sustained Stability

Aerospace-grade magnesium alloy construction and stainless steel fixings keep the head rigid during long takes, preventing the gradual drift common with plastic mounts. The lever-controlled tilt locks firmly so the angle holds under the weight of a monitor or microphone for extended periods. At 2.8 oz (78g) it adds negligible mass, keeping the overall rig balanced on gimbals or tripods during all-day shoots.

Install And Pitfalls

Slide the foot into a standard cold shoe, tighten the integrated thumb wheel, then mount the accessory on the 1/4"-20 screw and set tilt with the side lever. The 360 Degree rotation allows any yaw angle, but the single 1/4"-20 thread limits you to one accessory at a time. Users needing to stack a monitor and a microphone simultaneously will need a second mount or a dual-shoe bracket.

Questions about this item

How much heat or noise does the Monty 1 generate when supporting a monitor all day?

The Monty 1 is a passive magnesium-alloy mount with no motors or fans, so it produces no heat and makes no noise regardless of how long it is used.

What must my camera or rig already have to attach this mount?

Your rig needs either a standard cold shoe or a 1/4"-20 threaded socket to accept the Monty 1's base.

Will the 360-degree pan and tilt lever work smoothly with an older, heavier external monitor?

The aerospace-grade magnesium alloy and stainless-steel fixings are built for professional loads; the lever-controlled tilt and 360° rotation stay secure even with heavier legacy monitors.
