Angelbird SSD2GO PKT Mounting Bracket
Secure and Versatile SSD Mounting Solution for Creators
The Angelbird SSD2GO PKT Mounting Bracket is a precision-engineered accessory designed to enhance the portability and usability of Angelbird’s SSD2GO PKT portable SSD drives. This clever, lightweight aluminum bracket allows creatives, videographers, and photographers to securely fasten their drives directly onto camera rigs, cages, or hot shoe mounts, enabling external recording and effortless data management on set.
Purpose-Built for Seamless External SSD Integration
Modern content creation often demands immediate and fast access to high-capacity storage directly from the camera or rig setup. The Angelbird SSD2GO PKT Mounting Bracket facilitates this workflow by providing a robust and convenient method to attach portable SSDs used for recording audio, video, or media data externally.
By mounting your SSD securely on the camera rig or hot shoe, you eliminate cable clutter, reduce setup time, and ensure your setup is compact, protected, and easy to manage during dynamic shoots.
Durable and Lightweight Aluminum Construction
Crafted from high-grade aluminum, the mounting bracket combines rigidity and lightness. Weighing approximately 52 grams (1.83 ounces), it adds barely any extra bulk to your rig while providing exceptional durability that withstands the rigorous demands of professional production environments.
Its sturdy build protects the SSD from accidental knocks and shakes when mounted, ensuring data integrity even on bumpy or fast-moving shoots.
Dual Mounting Options for Flexibility
The bracket’s versatile design supports two mounting methods:
-
Hot Shoe Mount: Easily slides and locks into the hot shoe of any standard camera, delivering a secure hold that can be quickly attached or detached as needed. This is especially useful for photographers and videographers who want to keep the SSD attached directly to their camera setup for ease of movement.
-
1/4” Screw Mount: Includes a 1/4”-20 male threaded screw for mounting on cages, rigs, tripod handles, or other cine accessories equipped with standard rigging threads. This alternative option caters to more customized configurations and advanced setups.
This dual system ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional gear and shooting scenarios, providing maximum flexibility in organizing your equipment.
Designed for Angelbird’s SSD2GO PKT Series
The bracket is specifically engineered to accommodate Angelbird’s SSD2GO PKT and SSD2GO PKT MK2 portable drives, ensuring a precise fit and firm locking. This specialization guarantees the safest attachment and optimal usability, making external recording setups streamlined and enjoyable.
Quick Release and User-Friendly Operation
Despite its solid construction, the mounting bracket features a quick-release mechanism facilitating swift installation or removal of the SSD. This feature supports fast camera changes or gear reconfiguration during shoots without fumbling or compromising security.
The clean design also allows easy access to ports and cables on the drive, enabling continuous operation and charging while mounted.
Lightweight and Portable for On-the-Go Professionals
At roughly 52 grams and measuring compactly, the SSD2GO PKT Mounting Bracket is easy to slip into camera bags or everyday carry kits, making it ideal for mobile workflows and on-location shoots. Its minimal weight balance with rugged strength makes it indispensable for content creators valuing both portability and reliability.
