British accessory brand 3 Legged Thing has unveiled Monty, a new trio of compact, adaptable mounting tools designed to simplify life for photographers, filmmakers and tech tinkerers alike. Known primarily for their innovative tripods, the company is broadening its ecosystem with this lightweight and surprisingly robust series of camera and accessory mounts.
Designed with versatility front and centre, Monty offers a modular solution to mounting a wide range of gear — from monitors and microphones to action cameras, LED lights and even spotting scopes. Whether you’re working in the studio, on a shoot, or building a custom rig, Monty provides the flexibility and build quality that has become a 3 Legged Thing hallmark.
The Monty range consists of three main products. Monty 1 features a coldshoe base with a ¼”-20 thread on both the base and top, and offers full 360˚ panning plus ratchet-controlled tilt — ideal for lightweight cameras, accessories or compact lights.
Monty 2 builds on that with a more tactical edge, featuring a ¼”-20 thread and a spring-loaded locator pin on top for secure locking. Its base uses a lever clamp to attach directly to 20mm Picatinny rails, popular in both film rigs and outdoor gear. It maintains the same panning and tilt functionality, making it adaptable for on-the-go setups.
Then there’s the Monty 3 kit, which combines the best of both worlds. It includes the same top mount as Monty 2 but with a removable lever clamp base, revealing a coldshoe mount underneath for even more flexibility. It also ships with a 20mm x 70mm Picatinny rail, providing users with immediate mounting options straight out of the box.
Compact yet capable, Monty is designed to eliminate the clutter of mismatched accessories in your kit bag. Whether you’re on a shoot or in the field, the Monty system streamlines your workflow without compromising stability or reliability.
