Description

The Camera Desk Mount System (CDMS) is designed for content creators that need a table or desk mounted system for their camera or smartphone.

Consisting of three different kits, plus additional optional arms, the CDMS is incredibly versatile. It can be put to use in a vast variety of situations, including make-up tutorials, Twitch-streaming, food photography, auto-cue presenting, and cooking tutorials, to name just a few. It is especially useful to those selling on eBay, Etsy and VINTED or creating content for YouTube, TIK TOK and Reels.

The basic CDMS Kit includes a vertical extending pole that clamps to a table or desk and features a small omni-directional ball head with a strong rotational lock and ¼”-20 thread for connecting cameras, lights, microphones, and monitors.

Kit 1A includes everything from the CDMS Kit plus a single auxiliary arm that can be attached to the main pole, or used on its own with a tripod leg or centre column. It features the ball head at the end for attaching accessories or smaller cameras.

Kit 2A features everything that’s in kit 1A, plus an extra arm that connects to the auxiliary to create an articulated horizontal arm.

All three kits are perfect for mounting lightweight cameras, smartphones, and accessories up to 1 kg / 2.2 lb in weight, and are made from aerospace-grade magnesium alloy.

Two types of Auxiliary Arm are also available to further extend the functionality of the kits.

Articulated Arm

I brought one set to use with my 3 LeggedThing ‘Patti’, as I would be photographing archeological artefacts for a database and needed to position lights at various angles. I was so impressed, I ordered a second set. The clamps fit the tripod legs perfectly and I can position the small lights into the positions required. The system looks good and appears very well constructed.

Great tool, really sturdy and flexible.

Great camera supports, and for basically anything that needs to be mounted to a desk. I have a few of the uprights, and enough of the arms to make some pretty wild rigs. These are easily the best I've found, and have easily the smoothest adjustments of any of these systems that I've seen.

Awesome value for desk based photographers/videographers! As with all 3LT gear well made mounts for camera and accessories when working at the desk. Ideal for mounting additional lights or audio equipment. Stable yet flexible to meet your needs - this gear has become invaluable when I’m taking photos of my models etc.
Highly recommended!

Nearly perfect

Great Idea - had to buy it as soon as I saw it because I wanted just such a thing. The desk clamp and vertical pole are both spot on. The mini ball heads are great. The horizontal arm is where I think there is room for improvement. The design means that there is only one position, i.e. one length of arm. Ideally you want to be able to adjust the length of this arm which would mean a redesign of the clamp. I suspect that the weight limit - means I have to use my APS-C camera and not my full frame one - is due to design of the attachment of the horizontal arm to the pole. An attachment which allowed the horizontal arm length to vary (possibly with a counterweight) would allow a heavier camera. Yes this would cost more; as it, it is an absolute steal at this price. So really 4.5 stars

Excellent for non-standard desks, not so much for seat dropper posts

My desk is made of old pews. No other desk mount could cope with its girth. They all slipped off. But this one grips it nice and firm.

Unfortunately, the Mr was very excited about the potential of the auxiliary arm as a bike mount. Apparently, it attaches to the handlebars and seat post brilliantly. It holds the camera rock solid. But, as you'd expect, the bolt doesn't cope well with the weight of a fully grown man landing on it and then being kicked as he dismounts the bike.

Still held the camera in place though! It just snapped the bolt. I've ordered a new one and the Mr is banned from using it.
