Give yourself freedom with the Quick-Release NATO Rail Mk II: featuring the same compact convenience with expanded functionality. If you want to tweak your colour balance or make an edit, you can slide the monitor clean off your monitor mount in moments, then slide it back on when you’re done.

Compatible with any monitor and any NATO clamp, the Quick-Release NATO Rail is the ultimate option for monitor mounting – whether you’re using a low-profile Monitor Mount or an ultra-strong Titan Arm.

Universal

Monitors from ARRI, Atomos and SmallHD all use a 1/4” screw for their mounting – what changes is the locating pin placement. With the NATO Rail, it is easy to swap monitor brands. Use the included flathead screwdriver to remove and replace the locating pins – with the corresponding locations marked for extra convenience. The Rail has slots for any pins not in use, meaning that you won’t lose any on the journey between unit base and set.

SmallHD Cine 5 Compatible

There is one exception – or rather, there was. The SmallHD Cine 5 is a widely-used monitor, but it has a small quirk with its locating pin design that makes the original Quick-Release NATO Rail more difficult to use – so we fixed it. We’ve added an extra locating pin thread and a small cutout for power cables, meaning that you don’t have to compromise on convenience.

Support Your Vision

With the Quick-Release NATO Rail, setting up your view is literally plug-and-play. Swap monitors on and off their mounts in moments, letting you quickly alternate between multiple positions or even multiple monitors. Pack a few of these NATO Rails in your camera bag, so that you can quickly set up a whole video village right there on your rig.

No Breakdowns

Filmmaking is an expensive trade, and a cracked monitor is a mistake you can’t afford to make even once. With an easy-press safety catch, your monitor will stay secured even if you forget to tighten the clamp. Whether you slip up between takes or a picky director demands to see the feed, the NATO Rail only releases when you’re ready.

Exceptional Build Quality

The NATO rail is made from anodised stainless steel with a CNC-machine finish, which is wear-resistant and durable whilst remaining lightweight and unobstructive. Like everything with that Bright Tangerine branding, you can be confident that your setup will last.

Part of the Monitor Mount System

Our monitor mounting ecosystem is durable and dependable, with plenty of choices for long-lasting success. Made from top-grade materials, each Monitor Mount is designed to withstand the worst that your shoots can throw at it - because the only breaks should be on the call sheet.

The Quick-Release NATO Rail comes with all required components, as well as a flathead screwdriver.

Monitor to Rail

1. Determine which locating pin configuration you require. Pins are clearly marked to highlight the correct configurations.

2. Use a flathead screwdriver to install or remove any pins.

3. Align the 1/4" screw with the thread on your monitor and use the flathead screwdriver to securely fasten the two together.

NATO Rail to NATO Clamp

1. Slide the NATO Rail into the NATO Adaptor until the safety clicks into place.

2. Tighten the NATO Adaptor using the side clamp.

The Quick Release NATO Rail Mk II is compatible with any NATO system, but is designed primarily to work alongside the Titan Arm 2 monitor arm and our Universal Monitor Mounts. The Rail features optional anti-twist locating pins for all monitor standards: SmallHD, ARRI and Atomos – along with a dedicated option for the SmallHD Cine 5. The Rail requires a NATO clamp in order to mount.

Bright Tangerine offers the best camera accessories for filmmakers looking for premium quality. Every component is designed with filmmakers in mind and tested to the highest standards; ensuring maximised compatibility and usefulness on any set.
