The Kupo Camera Cradle is a secure docking cradle that allows you to place your camera on a stand. This is quite a niche product but it might be of interest to some of our readers.
It is made from high-quality European Beechwood, and it features a 3/8 ”-16 female thread for quick mounting. It also comes with a special ball head adapter that allows you to mount the cradle to either a 5/8 ”baby pin by using the inside baby receiver, or remove the locking knob and you have a 1-1 / 8” junior stud for junior receivers.

The Camera Cradle comes with a removable white nylon rail holder that accommodates both standard diameters, 15mm and 19mm. There are multiple mounting slots designed to accept several Tethermate accessories designed with a “U” shaped sliding plate such as a cup holder and a v-mount battery plate, as well as many others that can be mounted in seconds without tools.
The cradle is equipped with two steel handles designed for easy handling, plus a Velcro strap to secure the camera rig to the cradle through the side handles. A non-slip carpet sticks firmly to the cradle and not only prevents it from sliding off but also protects the camera from scratches.
