Q&A

Questions & Answers

Butta S : Hello does this adapter work with Sony NEX proprietary Hotshoe? I want to mount my Zoom H1 onto my Sony Nex-7. ThxDICKSON G : I'm using the adapter to connect a Sony ECM-MS908C stereo mic to a Sony HDRHC9 vidcam. The adapter does raise the mic higher above the vidcam. It looks like the H1 has a hole for tripod mount so it may also require a male stud adapter. Hope this helps - all the best.ANTHONY P : I am not sure about the terminology that you are using "NEX hotshoe", so let me just say that I use this product to attach an external mic to my sony HDR-XR500 Camcorder. It mounts on the camera's accessory shoe and the mic mounts to it. There are no electrical connections of any sort I looked at the product page for the sony Nex-7 and I do not think this item will work for you. Hope this has been helpful, TonyPAUL M : I picked this up for my son's Sony camcorder when the SunPack LED light I bought hin wouldn't mate. He says it works great, but there's no info being swapped... just physical attachment.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?ANTHONY P : i needed this to mount an external microphone on my sony camcorderPAUL M : Mount an LED light with standard shoe fitting

Cold shoes adapter

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

Great solution for using external mic

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

Works Well

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.

good product,holds mic firmly in place

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

does the job !!

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.

works

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