Ambient has responded to user requests by introducing the LockitMount, a more stable and compact solution for attaching Lockit Timecode Generators to cameras.
Users had been seeking a smaller alternative to Velcro, leading to the development of this new mounting system.
The LockitMount is designed to be low-profile, attaching directly to the aluminum housing of the Lockit box with two small screws. It can then be securely fastened to a camera cage using a 3/8-inch screw. The mount is compatible with the ARRI Pin-Lock standard and includes a positioning pin to prevent it from untwisting.
The LockitMount kit (SKU: A81000) includes one 3/8-inch screw for camera mounting and three M2x16mm Torx (TX08) screws for attaching to the Lockit housing, with one screw provided as a spare. The LockitMount is priced at 57 EUR + VAT.
