To make mounting monitors even more accessible for photographers and filmmakers, Tether Tools has several products that will mount everything from monitors to iMacs, and VESA compliant to non-compliant VESA monitors.
There are several reasons to mount a monitor, including but not limited to:
For photographers, to view images while shooting tethered even in greater detail on a larger screen than their laptop
OR for positioning a monitor for a client or assistant to review images during or after a shoot so they’re not hovering over your workstation
Create a video village using VESA and non-VESA compliant monitors, iMacs, or Cinema Displays
What is VESA?
Hole patterns on the back of your flat panel monitor follow standards created by the Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA). These hole patterns correspond to measurements that all major display manufacturers such as Sony, Panasonic, and LG use. VESA pattern measurements are standardized to guarantee that your flat panel monitor correctly attaches to a mounting bracket.
In today’s electronics market, there are a wide variety of monitors available, however a large portion of these lack VESA mounting compatibility. Due to being non-VESA compliant, these monitors cannot be mounted to common VESA stands and mounts. These below VESA kits and adapters allow for VESA and non-VESA compliant monitors to connect to photography and film stands, tripods, grip gear and arms.
Rock Solid VESA Monitor Mounts
Mounting TVs and monitors is not new, but as a photographer, you need your mounting options to be as dynamic as your photo shoot. Therefore traditional wall and desktop mounts won’t work. You need to be able put them on rolling C-stands or tripods you already have.
These three VESA Monitor Mounts are an integral part of mounting a monitor to a stand or tripod. All three require a monitor that is VESA compliant with a 75×75 or 100x100mm configuration or a monitor that is outfitted with a VESA adapter.

Once clipped in, your monitor is held secure and can be tilted and rotated.
