Hi Kyle

I think it should be okay, so long as the camera doesn’t get shaken around much.

Ideally you’d have the camera mounted in a DSLR cage, and then the tablet attached to the cage rather than the camera’s hotshoe. But of course, that’s extra cost, weight, and bulk.

I’m thinking of trying this with a nexus 10 – do you think the hotshoe etc. can hold up to the heftier tablet?

Hi Nam

I used general purpose contact adhesive. This seems to provide a much stronger bond than general glue. Contact adhesive glue shouldn’t dry out and peel off in the future like UHU all purpose glue sometimes does.

Very nice mounting option! I want to try that too.
What kind of glue did you use to glue the 1/4″ thread nut to the case? I’m afraid that normal glue won’t work for longer term…
