The IPad video camera is a handy way to shoot HD video and this tool makes it much shooting better video more functional. Not only do you get an easy way to mount the Ipad to a tripod, you get attachment options like hot shoe on top & side as well as a sliding lense mount. I was sold by the sliding lens mount feature that allows you to add a 37mm lenses to the IPad for easy switch to wide angle & 2x telephoto shooting. I was diasappointed that my Zeikos lenses were slightly larger than the slot in the mount and did not fit. I was able to use them once I inserted a Zeikos filter with a diameter that fit and provided an extention for the lenses slide. I am surprised Makayama has not had enough complaints about that to fix with the latest version. The Ipad app provided did not offer any significant options, but it does offer a slightly easier way to control reord/off.

Comments about Makayama Movie Mount for iPad 2nd, 3rd, 4th Gen:
I am using the Movie Mount to attach my iPad to a tripod so I can take time lapse and movies with it. For this purpose the iPad needs to be held steady. The fact that I can use it with an auxiliary wide angle lens and microphone attached to the mount makes it imminently useful. An added feature is that the lens can be easily slid out of the way if not in use without detaching the lens. So far I have not found any problems with the mount.
- Usability:
- Easy To Attach, Simple Enough
- Recommended:
- Wide angle accessory lens, Tripod, USB microphone

Comments about Makayama Movie Mount for iPad 2nd, 3rd, 4th Gen:
The mount is fairly well constructed as far as the ability to hold the ipad and mount light & microphone to the "shoes". I think the slide action for the lenses was a great idea, however, the slide should be thicker to allow lense threads to secure. It didn't take much pressure for the lense to "pop out" of the slide and fall to the ground. This mount sells everywhere else for $[$], but B&H sells it for $[$], a much better deal, but still a lot of $$ for plastic.

Comments about Makayama Movie Mount for iPad 2nd, 3rd, 4th Gen:
Very cheaply made. Lens mount is thin plastic very easy to strip. Also one of my lenses I purchased with this is to fat to fit and needs a step up ring to get above the black plastic frame. Don't buy.

I purchased this mount to shoot real estate home tours. Product works as advertised. Only concern that I have is that the threading is in plastic therefore you must be careful when you add the lens or other accessories. For my application, the product works well!

Comments about Makayama Movie Mount for iPad 2nd, 3rd, 4th Gen:
I bought this about a year ago from another site (BH has best price). It is so easy to pop my ipad into it and attach to my tripod. It has two places to attach external mic (my next purchase.)
I love the uniqueness of the lens slider. Instead of removing lens, I just slide it down below the camera and then just slide it back when I am done. It is truly amazing. The picture above has the lens slid down away from camera).
