Description

Freefly Systems NATO Monitor Phone Combo Bracket

The Freefly Systems NATO Monitor Phone Combo Bracket is a highly versatile L-shaped mounting bracket designed to integrate a main monitor (or even a tablet) and a smartphone onto a camera rig simultaneously. It leverages the industry-standard NATO rail system for quick, secure, and adjustable attachment, making it an ideal solution for optimizing your camera “cockpit” on set.

In professional filmmaking, having multiple screens for different purposes (e.g., primary video feed on a monitor, camera/gimbal control app on a phone) is becoming standard practice. This combo bracket provides a clean and efficient way to achieve this, reducing clutter and improving ergonomic access to vital controls and visual information. It’s particularly useful with Freefly Ember S5K/S25K cameras and MōVI gimbals.

Key features and benefits of the Freefly Systems NATO Monitor Phone Combo Bracket include:

• L-Shaped Dual Mounting Design: The unique L-shaped profile is specifically designed to mount a main monitor (or tablet) on its horizontal axis, while a phone clamp (sold separately, like the Freefly Phone Clamp Mount or Moment MagSafe Mount) can be attached to its vertical axis. This creates an efficient side-by-side or stacked dual-screen setup.
• Integrated NATO Rail Profile: The entire bracket features a standard NATO rail profile, allowing it to be mounted quickly and securely to any NATO clamp (e.g., Freefly NATO Rail Clamp) on your camera rig, gimbal, or stand. This enables rapid attachment, detachment, and horizontal adjustment.
• Numerous 1/4″-20 & ARRI Anti-Twist Mounting Points: Equipped with multiple (typically 9) 1/4″-20 threaded holes for attaching various accessories. Critically, 8 of these holes feature ARRI pin standard anti-rotate slots/holes, ensuring that attached accessories (like monitor mounts or articulating arms) don’t twist or loosen during operation.
• Robust Machined Aluminum Body: Crafted from high-quality, precision-machined aluminum, ensuring exceptional durability and rigidity. This robust construction can withstand the demands of professional production environments.
• Lightweight Design: Despite its sturdy construction and multiple mounting options, the bracket is remarkably lightweight (approximately 56.5g with screws and spacers), preventing unnecessary bulk on your rig.
• PVD Coated Black Stainless Steel Hardware: Comes with PVD-coated black stainless steel screws and anti-rotate spacers, providing durability, corrosion resistance, and a sleek, professional aesthetic.
• Versatile Application: While perfect for monitor and phone combos, its abundant mounting points allow it to be used for attaching other accessories like lights, microphones, or wireless receivers, offering immense rigging flexibility.
• Enhances Workflow: By centralizing and organizing your monitor and phone, it streamlines your workflow, improves ergonomic comfort, and ensures a clear view of your footage and control interfaces at all times.

The Freefly Systems NATO Monitor Phone Combo Bracket is an indispensable camera rigging accessory and a versatile NATO rail mount solution. It’s crucial for efficiently organizing and accessing your monitor and phone on Freefly Ember cameras, MōVI gimbals, and other professional camera setups, enhancing overall operational efficiency and control.
