Tentacle Sync E Camera Mount V2

The Tentacle Sync E Camera Mount V2 holds your Tentacle Sync E timecode box on your camera, cage or cheese plate, in whatever orientation suits your build. It does the same job as our original mount with one change: the brass 1/4"-20 insert is gone. In its place is a countersunk through hole, and a 1/4"-20 countersunk screw comes with every holder.

Why there is a V2

A threaded insert works well until you bolt it straight to a cage. You screw a male-to-male adapter into the mount, then into the cage, and wherever the thread runs out is the angle you are stuck with. On a tight build that is a real problem. Quick release clamps get around it by passing a bolt through the mount instead, so V2 does the same. You set the angle, then you tighten.

New in V2

• Internal countersink. The screw goes in from inside the holder and its head sits down in the countersink, recessed in the cavity wall. Countersunk gives the best durability and keeps a low profile, so nothing pokes into the space where your Tentacle sits.
• 1/4"-20 through bolt. The screw passes straight through the holder and into your cage or cheese plate.
• 5.5 mm Allen key hole. A single through hole on the front face lines up with the screw, so you can reach it from outside with an Allen key and tighten it onto your equipment.
• Any position, any orientation. Bolt it to your cage first, then turn the holder to any angle before you snug it up. Your timecode box ends up where you want it, not where the thread stops.
• Hardware included. One black 1/4"-20 countersunk socket screw with every holder.

How to fit it

1. Drop the screw into the holder from the inside so the head sits in the countersink.
2. Hold the holder against your cage, cheese plate or any 1/4"-20 thread at the angle you want.
3. Put an Allen key through the 5.5 mm hole on the front face and tighten the screw.
4. Fit your Tentacle Sync E into the holder.

Same as the original

• Durable black TPU with good weather resistance.
• Cable management channels on both sides keep the timecode cable tidy, with no loose loops to snag on gear.
• Two cable cut-out sizes to suit different timecode cable setups.

Which version do you need?

Want a fixed female 1/4"-20 thread in the base instead? The original Tentacle Sync E Camera Mount with the secure brass 1/4"-20 insert is still available. It is the simpler choice when you are mounting onto a ball head, magic arm, hot shoe adapter or anything with a male thread. Choose V2 when you are bolting straight to a cage or cheese plate and need control over the final orientation.
