The Shoe Mount to 1/4"-20 Adapter from Nanlite can be used to attach various accessories to the top of your camera. Via the shoe mount foot on the bottom, the compact adapter can be secured directly to the shoe mount on the top of your camera. Then you can attach 1/4"-20 compatible accessories to the 1/4"-20 mounting screw. The adapter can also be mounted on camera cages and other camera supports that have a shoe mount that it can insert into.
