"Holding up to 3 pounds of anything with a 1/4” thread expands the world of imaging possibilities and more." said Martin Wood, Delkin's CEO.

The Fat Gecko Gator Mount has been tested with cameras and camcorders weighing up to three pounds, which covers the majority of DSLR and compact models on the market for consumer use.

Weighing less than a pound, the camera mount is unlikely to interfere with filming and shooting situations.
