ePhoto Adjustable Swivel Hot Shoe Mount with 1/4-Inch Thread for Mounting Video Camcorder Monitors

Contrary to the experiences of a couple of the other reviewers, I have had no trouble getting this unit to hold my 7" Lilliput 668 monitor. In fact, the exact ballhead comes with the monitor. The Lilliput 668 might be 2lbs at the most, and regardless of the angle, this ballhead has held fine. Perhaps the other reviewer's monitors were heavier. Also note that the 7" monitor is the heaviest thing I use this item for. Everything else are 160 LED panels, flash heads, mics, or field recorders, all of which don't exceed 1lb. I also purchased Giotto's mini ballhead that is rated for 4+lbs. In comparison, the Giotto might be a little heavier duty, but for very lightweight uses, the ePhoto is much smoother and easier to adjust. I purchased these to replace the crappy ballheads that came with my Chromo 160 LED Panel. An otherwise nice light panel, just comes with a very breakable ballhead. The ePhoto has worked brilliantly as a replacement.

For the price of this I was expecting a cheap plastic unit, but this has weight and performs without issue holding my monitor easily and providing no issues what so ever. I had the IKAN version of this and it was much worse. This is just proof that ephoto does have some very worthwhile products, just do your research before buying. Highly recommended.

I use this to replace the plasic hot shoe mount for my LED light, works great, the ball can be moved even when tightened down but I don't think it was meant to hold much weight any way.

PERFECT for holding a lightweight flash and softbox attached to it, but nothing more. It does exactly what it is supposed to and does it well!

I second the experience as expressed by some other users. Does not hold my Haier monitor over the camera at an angle. The monitor starts to slip and eventually goes flat down to an unwanted position. Presently looking for a $20 "Vello" Adapter holding up to 4 lbs to see if it will work better. this was specially needed for a 550D which does not have a swivel screen built in, to use an external Haier monitor. It did not work out well.

These things should have a lock to lock in position
