The DELV-SM is a swivel mount adapter for the Delvcam portable monitors. The unit uses a ball joint socket with a locking mechanism for securing the monitor at the most convenient angle. The adapter mounts to a typical shoe mounting point and locks onto the camera (or other shoe accessory) with a lock-down screw.

Comments about Delvcam DELV-SM Swivel Mount Adapter:
Used for Larger LCD display attached on a Broadcast Camera. Worked well, easy adjustment, retained settings despite weight of LCD. Chosen over other like models on B&H because of sturdy all metal construction. Made camera set up for production far superior to viewfinder or onbord LCD.

Comments about Delvcam DELV-SM Swivel Mount Adapter:
First thing I noticed initially was how strong and well built this swivel mount appeared. It has weight to it BUT, you need this item on your camera to hold monitors and on-cam lights so they won't slide out. I recently purchased an Ikan iLED 155 On-Camera LED that came with a cheap mount that loosened up as soon as I moved the camera. The light, battery, and plate, all fell off my camera (Sony VX-2000) twice (once at a wedding reception of course right before the best man speech) but luckily the light did not suffer any major damage. This DELV-SM Swivel Mount Adapter has large steel knobs...not the wimpy plastic ones that are too small to grasp and loosen easily. It may be tough to slide on your camera shoe but it's worth the extra fiddle. Treat yourself and your expensive equipment and buy this item if it is needed. Thanks BH and Delvcam!

Comments about Delvcam DELV-SM Swivel Mount Adapter:
I have used several hotshoe mounting adapters to get an LCD screen mounted on top of video camcorders. Although I don't own a delvcam monitor (No offense to delcam, this adapter has many advantages at a great price point. The uniot is heavy duty. It can adjust to different thickness levels of hot shoes and tie down easily. The adjustmest knob tightens down securely with the feeling that you "Know when the monitor is secure." For the camera assistant in a hurry in repositioning the mionitor, this is a big plus. It is also tall enough to get your hands under the monitor to reposition it without having to work your hands sideways between the camera and monitor. Because of the durability of the adapter, it can hold a pretty hefty 7-9 inch screen on top of the camera. For some video pros using DoF adapters on their camera that need the monitor to be positioned upside down, this doesn't do the trick, but for holding your LCD screen, microphone or firestore drive (so you can read the screen when it is on top oif the camera) this adapter is top notch!
