Accessory mounts for your setup – small helpers, big impact
Let’s be honest: it’s not the camera alone that makes the difference, but all the gear around it that needs to be neat, stable, and quickly within reach. That’s exactly where accessory mounts come into play – inconspicuous, but absolutely crucial when you’re working in the studio, on location, or anywhere between the kitchen table and an industrial perforated table. In this category you’ll find accessory mounts that tidy up your setup, make it safer and, above all, more flexible – without you having to build half a tripod warehouse every time.
Magic Arms by Leofoto – when you “need another hand”
The Magic Arms by Leofoto are basically what you wish for when you think: “I could really use an assistant to hold this for a second.” Instead, a sturdy, flexibly adjustable arm takes over the job – and does so consistently, without anyone getting tired in between. Whether it’s a monitor, LED light, microphone, smartphone holder, or small reflector: you clamp your accessory on, tighten a central screw – and it stays put. Period.
Especially when you’re working with cage systems, rigs, or multiple tripods, these Magic Arms make the difference between cable-clutter chaos and a tidy, professional setup. And yes, they’re surprisingly robust for their size – a bit of “workshop feeling” in the photo studio.
Flexible support arms by Wimberley – precise, smooth, almost over-the-top stable
The flexible support arms by Wimberley are more like the quiet pros: they can be positioned with great sensitivity, but once set, they hold as if they were welded in place. They’re particularly interesting if you work in macro, product photography, or nature photography and want to place reflectors, flags, small LED panels, or background elements with millimeter precision.
Because the support arms are so flexible, you can attach them to tripods, tables, plates, or clamps and basically “hang” your accessories in mid-air – exactly where you need them. No more balancing on stacks of books, no wobbly tape improvisations (we’ve all been there). Just clean, repeatable, professional.
Novoflex – modular accessory mounts for precise setups
Novoflex has stood for well-thought-out, modular support systems for years – and you can feel that in their accessory mounts. If you value precise adjustability, high-quality materials, and long-term compatibility, you’re in very good hands here. The arms, joints, and adapters can be combined, expanded, and adapted to a wide range of situations: from compact tabletop setups to complex studio installations.
Especially practical: many Novoflex accessory mounts are designed so that you can pair them with common connections such as 1/4" and 3/8" threads, cold shoes, or clamp systems. That way, your system grows with you – instead of you having to start from scratch every few months.
Multi-function clamps – the inconspicuous all-rounders
The multi-function clamps in this category are a bit like the “gaffer tape, but prettier” solution: they hold backgrounds, reflectors, cables, fabrics, small lights, filter holders, GoPros, and pretty much anything that isn’t bolted down by the count of three. You can attach them to tubes, plates, table edges, tripods, or trusses and combine them with suitable adapters or arms – for example with Magic Arms or flexible support arms.
Especially on the go, at events, in a home studio, or in tight spaces, multi-function clamps are worth their weight in gold. Once properly tightened, they hold reliably – and often save you from having to set up an extra tripod. Or two.
Typical use cases – from studio to outdoor
Accessory mounts may look like a “nice to have” at first glance, but they quickly turn into “can’t really work without them anymore.” Typical applications:
- Mounting monitors, recorders, or wireless receivers on camera rigs and tripods
- Flexible positioning of LED lights, flashes, and small softboxes
- Holding reflectors, flags, gobos, and diffusers in product and portrait photography
- Stable mounting of microphones and audio accessories in video or streaming setups
- Keeping cables, power supplies, and small tools organized right at your workspace
In short: wherever you need to fasten something securely but still align it flexibly, accessory mounts are the silent heroes in the background.
What to look for in accessory mounts
You might be wondering: “Do I really need such specialized stuff?” – it depends on how often you have to set up and rearrange your gear. A few points that really matter in practice:
- Load capacity: Pay attention to how much weight the arm or clamp can actually hold safely – not just in theory, but in everyday use.
- Material and workmanship: Metal instead of flimsy plastic, smooth joints, grippy screws – sounds trivial, but makes all the difference.
- Compatibility: Standard threads (1/4", 3/8"), cold shoe adapters, Arca-compatible connections – this keeps your system flexible.
- Adjustability: Fine adjustment, central locking, ball joints, or segmented arms – useful depending on the application.
- Packed size: Especially if you travel a lot, a compact, lightweight accessory mount is worth its weight in gold.
Your individual support system – combine instead of improvise
In the end, it’s about having to improvise less and being able to spend more time shooting, filming, or streaming. With a well-thought-out combination of Magic Arms by Leofoto, flexible support arms by Wimberley, modular Novoflex solutions, and robust multi-function clamps, you can gradually build a support system that fits your workflow – not the other way around.
And when you realize at your next shoot that you no longer have to hold the light with one hand and focus with the other because everything is securely mounted – that’s when you’ll know why accessory mounts aren’t a side issue, but a pretty smart upgrade for your entire setup.
