Questions & Answers

Catherine M : Does this bracket attach to the tripod? and would it fit a kodak zi8 with a shotgun microphone on it?PRAVIN T : Yes you attach to tripod.Tes you can put it under video camera and attach microphone.I use it for DSLR camera & attach my pocketwizards.CLARENCE S : Ms. Catherine I am not sure this will help you. I do virtual tours and the tri-pod I use has a extender that I can fasten onto, and it works great for my flash unit.SHELLY B : Yes, there is a tripod screw attachment under the knob. There should be plenty of room for the Zi8 and a shotgun mic. I actually use it with a flash and a Kodak Z990 together. The bracket is fairly long.ROCKNE R : Yes and yes.
David A : Can this be mounted on a tripod? And if so, is the female thread on the screw or on the metal piece itself?SAMUEL N : Yes, the female thread is on the screw.CLARENCE S : I have a rotator for virtual tour photos where there is a totally different setup.

Cheap, light, does the job

It's my second one of these And I like it because of its simplicity It lacks a lock, so be ready with some guffer tape And that's why it gets 3 stars only

Pretty cool little bracket

This thing is cool for like paparazzi type shots. You can get sufficient light balance up close from verticle to hoizontal without too much harsh shadows on one side.

Solid, well made, does the job .

I'm using this bracket as a mount for a red dot sight in order to photograph birds in flight and other moving targets with a super-zoom camera.

Nice - works for Slave or PC Sync Flash

This is a good bracket - sturdy and good finish. Serves its purpose with a small trick. I use a slave flash which also has a hotshoe, which means it can work in Auto or Manual mode if the camera has a hotshoe (Sunpak 018 for $). However for P&S digital cameras which do not have a hotshoe you have to use the slave feature. Problem is the attachment on the bracket is metal which prevents the slave going off because there is contact between the flash & the bracket. So I had to put in masking tape to prevent contact between the flash & the bracket. Works great after the little trick. I am also buying a PC to Hotshoe adapter (Adorama) to trigger non-slave flashes.
