Mounting a tablet on the hot shoe ... well thats not something I would do, I am working on an attachment to connect the tablet to a tripod leg.

Either that or the accessory mount on my Induro 314. A work in progress.

Other odd bits over the decades, simply to get the job done - not merely to polish and brag about cos I'm too mean to buy the polish!

SYS Cream of the Crop  More info | Jan 09, 2014 20:54 | #4 Sort of like this except for a smartphone? I also wouldn't use a hotshoe.  Image hosted by forum (673388) © SYS [SHARE LINK] THIS IS A LOW QUALITY PREVIEW. Please log in to see the good quality stuff.

Jan 09, 2014 22:59 | #5 Thanks all. I currently have a Samsung Galaxy 3 and a Galaxy Tab. I have been using the phone, but it would be nice to have the big screen of the tablet handy. I suppose that it might be too big and/or heavy to mount to the camera hot shoe mount but might be quite workable on the tripod leg, as all of you have suggested.

The one holding an iPad is a Manfrotto Variable Friction Magic Arm. The smaller one on the right is an 11" Variable Friction Adjustable Magic Arm and Hot-Shoe Mount by Kamerar. Both of these are attached to the tripod legs with Manfrotto Super Clamps.
