Kiloview U40 Mounting Kit

R 618.70
Tax included Shipping calculated at checkout.

The Kiloview U40 Mounting Kit (manufacturer part number KA-U1 or KVW-KA-U1) is a lightweight, low-profile mechanical rigging accessory designed specifically for the Kiloview U40 4K NDI encoder.

It allows operators to securely attach the round, puck-style U40 converter directly onto standard camera hot shoes, cold shoes, production cages, or desktop multi-cam setups.

Core Engineering and Physical Features

  • Precision Engineering: The bracket is custom-tailored to wrap securely around the exact physical footprint of the U40 encoder, ensuring maximum structural stability without blocking the device's ventilation ports or peripheral cabling layout.

  • Standard Cold Shoe Compatibility: Features a standard metal cold shoe foot base that locks into any common DSLR, mirrorless, or broadcast cinema camera shoe extension.

  • Optimized Tally Visibility: The mechanical geometry is designed to lift and position the encoder so that its oversized, integrated 360-degree Tally light ring is perfectly visible to both the on-camera talent (host) and the camera operator (photographer) from multiple angles.

  • Toolless Field Assembly: It comes packaged with specialized, high-grip thumbscrews and matching hot-shoe hardware, allowing production crews to mount, adjust, or completely strip down the converter from the camera rig in seconds without needing a screwdriver toolbox.

💡 Operational Rigging Tips for the U40 Kit

The Cable Strain Relief Imperative: Because the U40 encoder handles high-bandwidth 4K60 HDMI signals alongside Power over Ethernet (PoE) network connections, its attached cables can become thick and heavy. Since the KA-U1 mounting kit itself weighs a mere 26 grams, any violent tug or continuous downward strain on the Ethernet line can place stress on the camera's hot shoe shoe terminal. Always loop and anchor your incoming network and HDMI cords tightly to your camera cage or tripod head using a cable clamp or simple hook-and-loop wrap. This transfers the mechanical weight off the U40 mount and protects the camera's hot shoe from snapping under pressure during sudden panning maneuvers.
