17Jan Cold shoe thumb screw 1/4 20 rig mount
Alright, this slightly over prices little guy looks pretty handy. It’s a 1/4 20 threaded stud with a thumb screw and rubberized grip on the bottom and a cold shoe adapter on the top. In the past i’ve used 1/4 20 all thread studs to attach cold shoes to a rig. At $9 this is a bit more expensive than that option, but it’s certainly easier to attach and use.
While $9 is a little over priced for this adapter, i’ve seen similar items labeled “Hot Shoe Relocator” for sale for $30 + shipping. I went ahead and ordered a couple for testing and I’ll report back on the quality once they show up. These would be great for Blackmagic pocket camera owners who need to mount a simple microphone or light to the top of their camera and it would be pretty useful for just about any camera cage.

I’ve been keeping an eye out for similar items. There are a few that are $30 or $30 out there, but none that are less expensive.
