If you get two of these adapters, you can easily swap a monopod and a mini tripod on the spot as your needs require. This same adapter can also be used to attach monopods to the bottom of the gimbal for more stable jib-style shots. Other accessories include a camera belt, specialized monopods that work together with the belt, and the TransMount Quick Setup Adapter, which lets you attach the included mini tripod by quick release functionality. One of these is the TransMount Phone Holder, which allows you to mount your phone on the side of the gimbal for monitoring your shot via the ZY PLAY app.
