TARION TKA01-L Overhead Desk Camera Mount 1/4" 📷

This overhead desk mount gives stable, flexible support for DSLR cameras and lights, enabling aerial shots, product photography and streaming setups with fewer vibrations. It is built to hold heavier gear for desktop use while allowing quick repositioning for different shooting angles.

Key Points

The mount uses an improved Gear-Lock system with three independent metal joints that have reinforced teeth, allowing smooth tilt up to 180° and full 360° rotation for overhead and side angles. The reinforced C clamp fits desks up to 6.8 cm thick and has a 6 cm wide jaw with an anti-slip base to reduce movement during recording. For multi-directional reach, the arm extends horizontally up to 57.5 cm, which helps get the camera directly above a workspace or product table. ⚙️

This stand supports both lighter setups like ring lights and compact DSLRs, and heavier vertical loads with different mounting threads, making it useful for creators who switch between shooting styles frequently. Consider that the stated capacities are according to the manufacturer, and heavier cinema cameras may require a studio-grade rig.

Technical Specifications

• Capacity (horizontal): 3 kg
• Capacity (vertical): 5 kg
• Reach: 57.5 cm

Usage Recommendations

Position the clamp on a solid section of the desk and tighten until the anti-slip base makes firm contact, then attach the camera using the 1/4" screw on the ballhead. For heavier attachments, use the 3/8" thread on the arm to reduce stress on the ballhead and maintain balance. When changing between vertical and overhead compositions, move each joint gradually to avoid sudden shifts in balance. 📸

The articulating arm and CNC-machined joints reduce micro-movements, which is helpful when capturing high-detail product shots or when using teleprompters. For livestreaming, orient the arm so the centre of mass stays within the clamp footprint to minimise tilt during long sessions.

The Essentials

The combination of metal construction, reinforced joints and dual-thread compatibility makes this mount a versatile desktop solution for content creators, photographers and streamers who need an adjustable overhead option. It includes quick tool-free adjustments for faster setup changes and multi-equipment workflows.
