Yes it’s pricey. Yes it weighs more than other mounts. But there is a reason Atomos went through the trouble to create this wonderful device. You don’t need to carry tools with you. Once you adjust it to your liking at home, you are done! It comes with a quick release plate to make mounting fast and secure.As you can see in the attached photo (Common Loon chick), my use case is photographing birds from a Hobie pedal kayak. I need a monitor to easily get water level shots by placing the camera on my leg. The built-in articulating monitor on my Olympus OM-1 is just too small and at the wrong height to be useful. An external monitor makes tracking waterbirds trivial. In a kayak, I wanted nothing to do with other mounts whose reviewers constantly talked about the need to readjust them.On the kayak I have a very small camera bag in which my camera with lens and Atomos mount are attached. I keep the monitor unattached until I have found my targets. Then I quickly attach the monitor via the quick release plate and plug in the HDMI cable. No fidgeting ever required.I bought cheap batteries and cheap HDMI cables. But definitely not interested in cheap mounts. I couldn’t be happier.

It is expensive but impressive I have tried everything else

This is the right product for my needs. The locking mechanism allows me to easily switch out the camera configurations and the hold the screen firmly in place when i need it to.

Prima usavo l'attacco smallrig e dovevo ogni volta usare le chiavi e montare, smontare... compromettendo la spontaneità della ripresa, a volte. Era troppo macchinoso. Adesso, con questo aggeggio, lascio una parte sempre attaccata al ninja V e la base sempre attaccata al cage, lo schermo si monta e smonta in un attimo, agilmente.

I felt this was really overpriced, however the build quality is good, and it is very convenient to use.Being able to rotate the monitor 360 degrees help when film interviews or when you have someone else pulling focus.The quick release mechanism works well too.The only downside is how tight you have to turn the clamping mechanism on the hot shoe to ensure a secure fit.
