Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor Side Bracket

Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor Side Bracket

Machined aluminum monitor bracket with expansive 1/4″ and 3/8″ rigging points

The Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor Side Bracket provides a structural foundation for securing high-performance displays to professional camera setups. Crafted from durable machined aluminum, this bracket forms a rigid physical bridge between your camera body and monitoring tools, absorbing daily operational stress during fast-paced studio and broadcast productions. By maintaining firm positioning during rapid camera movements, it prevents monitor droop and shifting during critical takes on set.

Engineered to expand your mounting options, this side bracket integrates directly into modern cinema workflows. It features flexible thread configurations across its top and bottom surfaces, allowing operators to attach transmitters, audio interfaces, and timecode sync hardware without cluttering the main camera assembly. Whether paired with compact setups or fully rigged camera cages, the bracket delivers a stable base for seamless viewing and reliable data management across various shooting environments.

Machined aluminum construction for rigid setup stability

The Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor Side Bracket features a machined aluminum construction that creates a solid mounting interface between your monitor and camera body. This durable design establishes a firm structural foundation for complex video production rigs in dynamic studio and broadcast environments. By delivering high structural integrity without adding unnecessary bulk to your setup, the bracket easily withstands constant handling.

In fast-paced live production workflows, moving heavy camera pedestals subjects equipment to continuous vibrations and stress. This machined aluminum bracket absorbs operational stress so the monitor does not flex or droop during live broadcasts. Whether operating the camera on a shoulder rig or a heavy-duty gimbal, the rigid construction keeps your display precisely positioned for uninterrupted viewing during critical takes.

Top thread mounting points for direct receiver attachment

Rigging often requires stacking multiple accessories into a tight space on set. The top of this side bracket provides three 3/8″ thread mounts and six 1/4″ thread mounts to expand your mounting options. This dense array lets operators attach articulating arms, wireless video transmitters, or secondary small monitors directly to the upper edge. Stacking these tools on the bracket keeps essential equipment within immediate reach without cluttering the main camera body.

In complex production environments, these upper mounting points also serve as a physical anchor for your necessary audio and sync adapters. Routing these tools alongside the monitor simplifies cable management and organizes essential hardware during active filming. Operators can maintain an efficient workflow while keeping crucial wireless receivers and support accessories firmly attached.

Bottom thread connections for secure rig base mounting

The bottom of the bracket features 2x 3/8″ thread mounts and 7x 1/4″ thread mounts designed to establish a highly secure base connection on your camera rig. These diverse mounting options allow operators to bolt the unit directly to camera cages, top plates, handle extensions, or general cage frameworks. Incorporating both thread standards ensures effortless integration with industry-standard broadcast mounting hardware, providing a solid anchor point.

This versatile layout lets you offset the monitor directly to your eye line while maintaining at least two points of contact to prevent twisting. When rigging alongside Blackmagic URSA Cine handle mounting threads with multiple 1/4”-20 mounting points, the bracket acts as a seamless structural bridge. Utilizing these bottom threads maintains complete security during rapid pan and tilt movements, keeping the display perfectly stable.

Optional rosette integration for custom handgrip positioning

Camera operators requiring dedicated handgrip placement can integrate an optional Rosette Side Plate featuring 5x 1/4″ thread mounts, 4x 3/8″ thread mounts, and 1x rosette mounting point. This specific addition allows you to attach standard articulating handgrips directly to the monitor assembly. Positioning handgrips on the rosette provides ergonomic stability and comfortable control during active handheld operating conditions.

For cleaner configurations, you can integrate a standard flat plate made of aircraft grade aluminum, adding 2x 1/4″ thread mounts and 1x 3/8″ thread mount for flush accessory mounting. Swapping these modular plates lets crews adjust smoothly to distinct production demands, whether operating handheld with a grip attached to the rosette or building a locked-off studio pedestal setup. This system adapts rapidly, keeping rig teardown and rebuild times minimal between shooting locations.

Blackmagic Design PYXIS Monitor Side Bracket ensures balance

The side bracket integrates the 12.7 cm HDR touchscreen monitor directly into your line of sight across Blackmagic PYXIS and URSA Cine setups. Featuring a native resolution of 1920 x 1080 and 1500 cd/m² brightness, this display offers accurate visual monitoring when pairing PYXIS camera setups in L Mount, locking EF Mount, or PL Mount options.

Routing the USB connectivity from the Blackmagic PYXIS Monitor along the bracket maintains clean, snag-free cable management across demanding shoots. This organized mounting ensures the overall rig remains balanced even when connecting heavier media setups, such as an SSD plate via USB-C or CFexpress Type B cards from 64GB up to 4TB. By securing these interconnected visual and data components, the bracket delivers essential operational stability for high-resolution video production.
