Comments about Adorama Adorama Universal Cold Shoe Adapter for Sony Type AIS (Active Interface Shoe) Hot Shoe (FLAT TYPE):
This adapter fit easily into my Sony XR-500V camcorder's AIS shoe. It locked securely in place. It seems to be well constructed. I am using it for a Rode Videomic Pro, which is very light. I am sure it would hold a heavier device though. The one I received is different from the picture on Adorama's site. Mine included a well-written instruction sheet that has "AIS-FLAT-V.2" as a title at the top, so maybe this is a new version. The instructions say it is a product from DM Accessories, LLC. The website is: [@]The item I received differs from the picture in the following ways:1. The cold shoe part is black, not grey/silver. I think it is plastic, but it could be painted metal. (The bottom part that slips into the AIS shoe is unpainted steel.)2. There is a black knurled wheel to lock the shoe into place. In the picture, I don't see the wheel and it looked like it had to stay in place by friction only. It actually tightens down with the wheel, which is good.So far I am pleased. As long as it holds up well over time, I will be happy with it.My only negative comment is that the price of [$] seems high for this simple device.

bought it for sony sr11 and at first when i was trying to attach it on the sony ais area, i was struggling to attach it properly but in the end i was pushing it in wrong direction. i use it with my azden shotgun microphone to attach it on top of my camera. in picture its shown in silver color but its actually black and dats a good thing.

quick and dirty solution to use regular shoe accessories on your Sony Handycam. It works, no thrills though. I am recommending it.
