Unboxing the Rigdance Aluminum Camera Extension Bracket – The Ultimate Tool for Comparing Action Cameras

Today, I’m unboxing a simple but powerful accessory that’s going to make testing and comparing action cameras a whole lot easier: the Rigdance Aluminum Camera Extension Bracket.

If you're like me—someone who enjoys side-by-side comparisons of gear like the GoPro Hero 13, DJI Pocket 3, DJI Action 5 Pro, and Insta360 X4—this tool could quickly become a favorite in your kit.

Let’s crack it open and take a first look.

📦 What’s in the Box?

Inside the compact box, you’ll find:

1x Rigdance Aluminum Extension Bracket
Pre-installed 1/4"-20 screw (male)
1x 1/4"-20 female mount on the opposite end
Anodized aluminum finish
A surprisingly light feel for something so strong

There’s no extra packaging fluff—just the bracket itself, ready to go. That’s a win in my books.

🛠️ First Impressions

Right away, I noticed a few things:

Build quality is solid.The aluminum alloy feels tough and ready for action. It's lightweight but not flimsy—ideal for mounting heavier setups without worry.
It’s longer than expected.The 14cm length gives plenty of room to mount two or even three cameras side by side.
Standard 1/4" threading means it will work with just about any cage or adapter I already own.

This bracket isn’t flashy—but it's functional, rugged, and designed with creators in mind.

🎥 Why I Got This: For Side-by-Side Comparisons

I plan to use this bracket to mount multiple cameras simultaneously for direct comparison videos. For example:

Camera	Mounting Setup
GoPro Hero 13	With GoPro-to-1/4” adapter
DJI Pocket 3	With gimbal base + 1/4” screw mount
Insta360 X4	In a cage with standard thread mount
DJI Action 5 Pro	With native thread or frame adapter

With the Rigdance bracket, I can easily attach all of them to a tripod, chest rig, or monopod—and capture footage from all cameras in perfect alignment. This is a game-changer for reviewers, vloggers, and anyone comparing camera gear.

⚙️ Quick Setup Test

I ran a quick setup test indoors to see how it balances with three cameras attached:

The bracket handled the weight well (even with the Insta360 X4).
No wobble or flex.
Screws tighten easily and stay secure.
Works perfectly with my lightweight travel tripod and gimbal grip.

I’ll be testing stabilization, color science, and low-light performance in upcoming videos—and this bracket will keep all tests fair and level.
