Product Information

Full details

The SmallRig Foldable mini L-Shaped Mount Plate MD5712 is an essential tool for videographers and cinematographers who require a space-efficient mounting solution for camera accessories like monitors or transmitters. It excels at keeping low-profile rigs organized while allowing for quick, single-motion angle adjustments, making it perfect for run-and-gun setups. The primary caveat is its 1.2kg maximum payload, which restricts its use to lightweight professional gear rather than heavy cinema lenses or large rigging assemblies.

FAQs

What is the maximum weight the MD5712 can hold?

The mount has a maximum load capacity of 1.2kg or 2.6lb.

Can I use this with non-SmallRig cages?

Yes, the mount uses universal 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 mounting standards, making it compatible with almost any camera cage on the market.

What materials is the plate made from?

It is constructed from a combination of durable aluminum and stainless steel.

What happens if I lose the locating pins?

The side of the mount features a dedicated storage hole to prevent this, but if lost, they are standard size pins compatible with most professional rigging hardware.

Is this mount suitable for heavy cinema lenses?

No, this mount is specifically designed for accessories like monitors and transmitters, not for heavy camera optics.

Troubleshooting

Accessory rotates or twists on the mount.

Ensure that you are using the included locating pins in the designated pin holes to lock the device into position.

The fold mechanism feels loose or slips.

Check the tension of the folding hinge; ensure all adjustment screws are fully tightened to lock the desired angle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Align the mount plate with the 1/4"-20 or 3/8"-16 threaded hole on your camera cage.
Secure the plate using the included screws, ensuring the base is flush against the cage.
If your device requires anti-twist protection, insert the locating pins into the provided slots.
Attach your monitor or transmitter to the other end of the plate.

Compatibility:

This plate is universally compatible with most standard camera cages, monitors, and wireless transmitters utilizing 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threading. Always verify your device weight does not exceed the 1.2kg limit.

Care:

Clean the aluminum and stainless steel surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth. Avoid exposure to saltwater or harsh chemicals to maintain the finish and structural integrity. Periodically check that screws remain tight after heavy use.
