Kupo KS-830 Ladder Offset Camera Mount – converts a step ladder into a tripod for high-angle shots
The Kupo KS-830 bracket turns a standard step ladder into a stable support for high-angle camera work. It uses a heavy-duty aluminum plate with a black anodized finish to provide a durable mounting surface for filmmaking setups.
Key features and purpose
- 24mm thick aluminum plate with black anodized finish for a robust mounting platform.
- Designed to allow a step ladder to function as a tripod, enabling high-angle shots from a ladder.
- Four adjustable hooks secure the bracket to ladder steps that are under 3mm thick.
- Four mounting slots let you fit the bracket on ladder steps up to a maximum width of 40cm.
Mounting options and accessory compatibility
The front lip of the bracket is tapped with M6 threads and ships with bolts. This setup lets you interchange different camera adapters, including Bowl, Euro, or Mitchell types, to meet specific rigging requirements. In addition, the bracket is predrilled with M10 holes. You can add clamps to these holes and connect them with pipe to install counterweights when needed.
At the rear end, the bracket provides a 3/8”-16 thread. You can attach a rotatable eye ring there to add weight and help balance the ladder-mounted camera setup.
Practical use cases
Use the KS-830 when you need elevated or high-angle shots but do not have a dedicated tripod or riser. The bracket secures to common ladder steps and accepts standard camera adapters and counterweight solutions, so you can adapt it to different cameras and balancing needs on location.
