can you mount a monitor arm to the matte box? it looks like there are 1/4 20 holes on top
Asked by: Alex
While it would theoretically be possible to connect certain monitor arms onto one of the threaded holes (taps) in the Wooden Camera UMB-1 Universal Matte Box (Pro) B&H# WO202100), matte boxes (including this one) are not especially stable nor secure enough for such usage. Moreover, since it attaches to the front of the lens, any instability caused by the weight of the arm and monitor could translate into movement that could impair the stability of the shot. While there may be use cases when it could be done, any camera movement with such a setup could result in a shaky image.
