Equipment

I have a Manfrotto tripod for my dslr. I'm looking for some type of attachment to mount a 7inch monitor on the side of the tripod in the accessories port. Does anyone know what it's called or where I can get one? It should only be a arm, and it shouldn't cost a lot I think .. Thank you.

Gonna bump this up...I definitely don't have the answer, but let's see if we can get someone who does to ring in.

Israeli Arms are common- eventually they break. UltraLite arms are what a lot of people are using on larger rigs - I use them, they are great, but $200 is a basic setup. I am pretty sure SmallRig sells a variety of similar parts on amazon that can do what you seek. I feel you may want to get a base for the camera and bolt the camera to the base so the monitor comes off the tripod with the camera for handheld. A little odd at first, it's how I use DSLRs, without a shoulder rig- works great once you are used to the monitor snugged right behind the camera.
