I am not one for buying new camera accessories most of the camera stuff I have I have owned since Moses was a boy. @realspeed showed us a new camera mount that he had but it was too large to my way of thinking.
While browsing I happened to come across an F38 mount on Amazon which seems to be some sort of a standard but which looked small yet was claimed to hold up to 9kg. I think if I had a camera that was 9Kg I would give the hobby away.
The first thing I saw, and how I came across it, was as a camera mount for a backpack. Anyway further investigation I came across a tripod 1/4 or 3/8 mount so I bought one, it was only $25 on special though the price varies enormously, I saw some for $107.
As you can see very small, the piece attached to the camera is symmetrical so clicks in anyway you like
This is one attached to my camcorder which is most likely to use it. Not sure yet of the best way to mount it yet, leave it as it is or rotate it 90°?
Such a tiny mount is not going to interfere with anything and the set was $25 (give or take) and spare ones are everywhere.
The base has an adapter, as you can see, for 1/4 inch or 3/8th threaded mount.
Quite pleased
