Screw Adapters

Zamerican arms eliminate wobbling and the need for screwing and unscrewing accessories. Thanks to Zacuto quick-release technology, you can attach or release accessories with the simple flip of a lever while everything is rock solid. These arms are the perfect tool for mounting monitors but users have the option of mounting pretty much any accessory they want. Of course if you would like a screw tap on the end of your Zamerican arm, Zacuto can provide that option with either our ½” to ¼” 20 adapter or our ½” to 3/8” 16 adapter. Furthermore if you have a traditional screw type arm and want to save time and convert to a quick-release arm, you can use Zacuto ZUD’s to do that. They turn a ¼” 20 or 3/8” 16 screw into a 15mm rod.

Because both ends of Zamerican arms are tapped for 15mm rods, they can also be extended using Zacuto male rod extensions. With this feature, Zamerican arms can be any length you want them to be. In order to take advantage of the Zacuto quick-release feature, Zamerican arms do require a Z-Release (quick-release) mount on each end of the arm.

• Zicromount—The Zicromount is the first and most basic Zacuto Z-Release mount. It consists of a 15mm hole and a ¼” 20 screw. Simply screw the Zicromount onto whatever accessory you desire with the Zicromount’s ¼” 20 screw and attach the Zicromount to your Zamerican arm or 15mm rod by tightening the red lever.

• Zicromount III—The Zicromount III works exactly the same as the Zicromount with a few minor improvements. The Zicromount III features two prongs that hold your monitor or other accessories in place, preventing them from spinning off of the ¼” 20 screw. Users also have the option of attaching a Double Z-Release to the Zicromount III to attach additional rods, arms or accessories.

• Z-Mount II—The Z-Mount II allows users to mount a monitors or other devices onto a Zamerican arm or 15mm lightweight support rod. It consists of two 15mm holes. The Z-Mount II is ideal for mounting a monitor to Zacuto Zgrips or anywhere along a 15mm rod.

• Zandy—The Zandy functions in the same way as the Z-Mount II but features a 19mm rod hole on one end instead of a 15mm rod hole on each end. It is the perfect tool for mounting a Zamerican arm along a 19mm rod.

• Zdapter Stand Mount—The Zadapter Stand Mount Kit allows Zamerican arms to mount to 5/8″ light stands, c-stands or Panavision rods. It is ideal for mounting a monitor to a rolling stand in the studio.

• Zround Mount—The Zround Mount is a Z-Release Mount that allows users to attach Zamerican arms to Zacuto Double Mounts and Mini Mounts, giving them the quick release option. It consists of a 3/8” 16 screw and 15mm hole.

• Zonitor Handheld—The Zonitor Handheld kit allows users to quick-release a monitor or another accessory from a Zamerican arm from the Zacuto 15mm Z-Mount or 19mm Zandy. The arm mounts on one rod using the Zacuto 15mm Z-Mount or 19mm Zandy.

• Zonitor ENG Large—The Zonitor ENG Large is a Large Zamerican arm with Zicromount IIIs on either end. This kit allows you to quick-release a monitor from a Zamerican arm as well as the arm from the top of your camera.

• Zonitor ENG Small—The Zonitor ENG Small is a Small Zamerican arm with Zicromount IIIs on either end. This kit allows you to quick-release a monitor from a Zamerican arm as well as the arm from the top of your camera.
