12Mar Cheap 1/4″ 20 Rail mount for your DSLR RIG.
Sometimes it’s nice to mount small items to your camera rails or other parts of your indie DSLR rig. One cheap option I wandered across is the Veho MUVI adapter. For $9 this little adapter will open up to over 1 1/2 inches and has a 1/4 20″ threaded adapter built in. It doesn’t close up quit small enough to fit on my 15mm rails so I added a few peaces of electrical tap to make up the difference.
The Veho MUVI adapter was designed to mount very small cameras on the handle bars of bicycles and motorcycles. So it isn’t really designed to handle a lot of weight, but a cold shoe adapter or Zoom h1 might be the perfect match for this little guy. Also, if you’re looking for a cheap way to add a 1/4″ 20 adapter to your homemade PVC DSLR Rig, this could be a great way to go.

I think that guy will work with a GoPro too. The mount looks identical!
Really cool stuff!
Thanks!

The GoPro would probably be just the right size for this.
