Hey guys, so I own a GH4, Sigma 18-35 f1.8 and an MB SB for it. I want a 'field monitor' style thing but I don't have the £££ to shell out to SmallHD for a beautiful 702 xD I do, however, have an iPad Mini 2 and the Image App so that I can control the camera and monitor from a larger display.

 

My question is: Is there a way that I can mount the Mini 2 to the GH4 using some kind of cold-shoe mount? I'm in college as we speak and a quick search reveals nothing to me. Could anyone please help?

 

Thank you all so much. I must get back to class!

Ry.

I don't see why you couldn't mount one.  You just need 2 items:

  • iPad tripod mount
  • mini ballhead mount

Screw the iPad holder to the mini ballhead with a coldshoe adapter.

You could get something like a cold shoe to 1/4 20, and a 1/4 20 to what ever tablet stand that supports it (look for ones that are tripod mountable.)

Get a hot shoe to tripod mount and put a ipad mount for a tripod on that. It might not be that sturdy, but it should do the job.
