The Bright Tangerine Universal Monitor Hinge for Sony FX6 is being billed as a versatile hinge system that offers a solution for simple or complex camera configurations when using the FX6.
Anyone who has used a Sony FX6 knows the pains of using the onboard LCD with its flimsy adjustable bracket. A lot of users are choosing to run an external monitor or EVF to make things easier. That’s where the Bright Tangerins solution comes in. Rather than having a fixed position for your monitor, the Universal Monitor Hinge expands the possibilities for positioning and adjustment in real time.
Key features
- Monitor Hinge with Folding NATO Rail
- 360° Rotation
- Independent Pan and Tilt
- Removable Locating Pins, Safety Stop
- Weighs Only 6.3 oz
The unit has removable locating pins, and a folding NATO rail provides full articulation with 360° rotation, which is augmented by independent pan and tilt to provide you with an optimal shooting angle
It weighs just 6.3 oz, and it features a safety stop on the side that allows you to fold down everything for transport to avoid potential damage.
It mounts to Sony’s 8T threads on the FX6 Top Handle, and users can quickly attach or detach the Monitor Hinge. You can also keep the NATO rail installed on your top handle.
The pan-and-tilt mechanisms can be independently locked off, and the folding NATO rail adds a full 360° rotation. When panning the monitor, two separate mechanisms give you added support, while the alignment ball clicks into place when the Monitor Hinge is exactly level.
The Monitor Hinge Kit is designed for the Sony FX6, combining the 8T Folding NATO Rail and Universal Monitor Hinge. The NATO Rail mounts to either the front or rear Sony 8T points on the stock FX6 Top Handle, or 1/4″ threads on a standard rig. For a secure mount, Bright Tangerine recommends bracing the setup with their Sony FX6 Top Handle Brace.
The Hinge mounts to any standard NATO rail and can be used with ARRI and SmallHD monitor standards with compatible locating pins. However, Atomos monitors – with their screw threads only being on the bottom of the monitor – are not compatible (unless using the monitor vertically).
