HSU Vertical Mount 180° 1/4"-20 adapter for action cameras 📷
Description:
This aluminium vertical mount makes it easy to switch an action camera between landscape and portrait for social media clips and versatile shooting angles, while keeping the camera locked securely with a round knob. It is a compact adapter that helps capture vertical video and wide panoramas when used with tripods, monopods, selfie poles or gimbals.
Key Points
The mount rotates through 180 degrees and locks in place, so you can change orientation quickly during a shoot without fiddly tools. Its cold shoe-style top and central locking knob give a tactile, secure feel when adjusting the position. The body is made from aluminium alloy, which keeps weight low while offering durable support for small action cameras and accessories 🔩.
This adapter also includes a side threaded hole to attach other accessories, which makes it flexible on set whether you need a microphone, light or another mounting point. Consider that cameras or accessories without the standard 1/4"-20 threaded hole will need their own adaptor, according to the manufacturer.

Usage Recommendations
For tripod or gimbal use, attach the mount directly to your support using the 1/4"-20 thread and then fix the camera on the cold shoe or screw. This reduces the need for extra plates when switching between vertical and horizontal framing. If you plan to add accessories on the side, check clearance for cables and lights, especially when rotating the mount during recording 🎥.
When shooting fast action, make sure the locking knob is fully tightened before movement to avoid accidental reorientation. The aluminium construction helps with portability and handling in outdoor shoots, but remember that very small cameras with non-standard threading may require an additional adapter.
