The Pearstone Cold Shoe Adapter is a practical device that allows you to mount video accessories with a standard shoe, such as lights and microphones, to the proprietary AIS (Active Interface Shoe) hot shoe on Sony camcorders. This cold shoe adapter mounts accessories by tightening the screw on the left or right side. To rotate the shoe adapter for use by left or right handed individuals remove the bottom part of the shoe and rotate it to the other side.
