FAQ

Is the Mini Articulating Arm strong enough for a monitor like a Ninja V?

Tilta rates the Mini Articulating Arm for up to 4.5 kg, and customers use it to mount 5-inch monitors such as the Atomos Ninja V on a Sony FX3 cage. For heavier monitors or longer reach, the Pro Articulating Arm is rated for 5 kg.

Can I change the ends of the arm?

Yes. The ball joints swap out, and Tilta makes Ball Joints with a cold shoe, a NATO clamp, 1/4"-20 threads with locating points and a GoPro-style 3-prong mount. You can mix them, for example a NATO clamp on the cage side and a cold shoe on the accessory side.

What do the retractable locating pins do?

The locating pins next to each 1/4"-20 screw stop an accessory from twisting on the arm. Tilta designed them to retract for quick changes between setups.

Should I get the Mini or the Pro Articulating Arm?

The Mini arm weighs 151 g and holds 4.5 kg, so it suits small monitors, lights and microphones close to the cage. The Pro arm is about 300 g, holds 5 kg (11 lb), reaches further and also comes with Dual NATO Attachments.

How does the arm lock?

One ergonomic tie-down knob with aluminum quick locking tightens both ball joints at once. Loosen it to reposition, then tighten it to hold the accessory in place.
