I had to file on it a little to get it to fit easily. Once that was done it was perfect.

Cold shoes adapter

I wanted to use my Rode's external mic and this was a great solution for mounting it. It works great!

Great solution for using external mic

i use with my rode pro mic.

fits nicely on my sony cx 560

i considered the raised but found the flat is perfect

Good fit

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.

Works Well

Used Adapter Shoe For Mounting Mic For Concert Recording, Product Looks Good On Camera, Unlike Photo,It Is Black In Color. As Stated Before, A Little Over priced

good product,holds mic firmly in place

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.

does the job !!

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