Essential for accessory mounting

"I use this simple bracket mount with a Canon Vixia HP S100 camcorder. I attach a light and a Sennheiser mini-shotgun mic to it. The new Canon camcorders feature a proprietary shoe, so attaching accessories with standard shoe mounts is impossible. This bracket solves that problem, and allows mounting two accessories at once. Highly recommended...." Read Full Review »

Would be Perfect, if it Folded Up

"This thing is pretty sweet because it is solid and gets the job done. I use it hold a small Shotgun Mic away from the video camera to record better audio.

"I purchased the VB-50 to combine an extra pair of shoes with a compact extra handle to (hopefully) steady out run & guns with my PD-150.



It performs these two tasks just fine. The construction is simple and sturdy, and should hold up well to abuse. The grip provided isn't amongst the most ergon …"  Read Full Review »

"I bought this to use on a mini-DV to support a light. It's clearly a cheap import and it functioned that way. Right out of the package it was clear that I had to tighten the screws holding the shoe to the bracket. They never held well so one bracket always wiggled. It wasn't a major problem just ann …"  Read Full Review »

"The bracket easily attaches to the underside tripod mount and can be swung around to the left or right side of camera. Mounted on the left side of my Canon FS-11 (small flash-based camcorder), the bracket gets in the way of the viewfinder, unless I swing the arm out at about a 10 o'clock angle.
