Review on Campro Cold/Hot Shoe Mount Adaptor with 1/4-20 Male Thread - Enhance Compatibility with Black Magic Cinema Cameras, DSLR Cages, and Pro Camcorders by Jessie Drury

This mount works, but later I realized I needed something much simpler. In the meantime, I've discovered two important criteria to consider when buying a cold shoe mount: Can the mount be tightened in any position? Yes. We all know how frustrating it is to mount something on a rig and rotate it while facing the opposite direction. The thumb lock underneath this cold shoe mount allows you to attach the mount to your rig in the exact orientation you need. This is a necessity. Do I really need a thumbscrew to adjust the width? In my case no. I wanted to install the Rode VideoMic Pro which already has a built in thumb lock that tightens onto a fixed width cold shoe so I don't need a width adjustment knob. Microphones, LED lights, etc.) also include the thumb mounts mentioned above, so you can get away with a much lower profile cold shoe mount depending on your needs without adjusting the thumbscrew that comes with this adapter.
