Description of ๐Ÿ“ธ Enhance Your Sony A6000/A6100/A6300/A6400/A6500 Camera Rig with SMALLRIG Left Side Cold Shoe Adapter Relocation Plate - BUC2342

The left cold shoe adapter is exclusively designed for Sony A6000/A6100/A6300/A6400/A6500. With the cold shoe adapter, you can mount the microphone off to the left side so you can still see the screen when it flips up. The lightweight adapter features rubber pad to prevent scratching the hot shoe on the camera. The lightweight adapter maintains the flashlight of camera access and comes with a strap hole for shoulder strap. The lightweight adapter comes with a second locking point on the left side to ensure stability.

Excellent fit - flash accessories

Does not work as it should, no movement of parts. Yes, it blocks the neck strap, but it's better than other designs that cover the right side of the camera.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Updates available

great addition to my a6400

this was a great addition to my a6400. I use it for vlogging and interviews. This adapter allows me to quickly connect a small microphone and I like the LEFT side better because that's where the microphone jack is.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • ---

Very clever and not stressful at all!

Bought for Sony A6400 about 2 years ago. I also bought a Deity D3 Pro to work with. I'm so glad I preferred the side mount to the top mount where it blocks the screen when unfolded. I haven't had a single problem with it and have used it for several large projects and many hours. Sony A6400.

Pros
  • Works great for me
Cons
  • Has problems

Excellent quality but cheap 2.5mm screw not suitable for Allen keys

Excellent quality but cheap 2.5mm screw not suitable for Allen keys. These are the little things that can ruin the product. I had to search a long time for a 2.5mm head screw of the right length to replace the cheap one that came with the product. You will need a 2.5mm x 5mm cap screw; Black. Otherwise a very high quality cold shoe. This is definitely necessary so that the additional microphone does not block the LCD.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons
  • Not the best

Better than top cold shoe adapters.

I like the look of the smallrig coldshoe adapter that moves it up but the connecting cable crosses the front of the screen. With the side adapter, the cable lies next to the inputs and the cable just hangs to the side. That's great. I also purchased a Smallrig top mover mount from an online auction seller as a 'buy now' option. It was about $5 cheaper than the Smallrig brand and worked exactly the same. There's probably a side plate too, which you can move if you're interested.

Pros
  • 1 year trial
Cons
  • Overall ok but...

It is not possible to use shoes with neck straps.

Contrary to the description, you cannot use this cold shoe with a neck strap. Yes, there is a slot for attaching a neck strap, but I spent over 30 minutes trying to get the strap in and out, and the hole was too flimsy, despite my best creative efforts. Even if I could, the screw attaching the shoe to the right front of the camera would have to go into the same rivet used to attach the neck strap loop. To use this shoe closure, you must permanently remove the neck strap loop, which would be aโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Robust construction
Cons
  • Repair

That's cool! - Accessory

This mount is ideal for those who use the camera for any type of video recording and need a connected microphone for audio! You can use the camera strap even with the mount installed. I suggest using the Peak Design strap. You may find it easier to attach over the strap that comes with the camera or other types of straps on the market. I prefer this mount to a full cage for everyday use due to the small form factor, but that doesn't mean the cage still doesn't have room. In fact, the Small Rigโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Only available in white
