To address this issue, Ambient has introduced two innovative solutions: the Ambient Slot Mount and the Slot Mount Mini. These super-slim mounts offer a flexible and efficient way to attach any slot receiver to virtually any camera.

The new mounts are designed to accommodate all slot-size receivers, regardless of the brand.
