Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4"-20 Stud Connector
This Pearstone Male Accessory Shoe Adapter has a threaded 1/4"-20 stud on the top and a "cold" male flash shoe on the bottom. In addition, the bottom of this adapter also features a 1/4"-20 threaded female socket.
This handy little adapter allows you to mount camera accessories that only come with a 1/4"-20 socket to cameras, rigs, camera brackets, and any tripod or light stand that only feature a flash shoe. For added security, the knurled locking ring assures a tight connection to the accessory.

This items does exactly what it looks like it would. It gives you a shoe mount somewhere that you need one. In my case, I use it to mount a Zoom recorder on top of a Canon 7D DSLR on a shoulder rig. While not the most practical set up, it gives me an option for tight quarters shooting or where a boom operator is not practical.
Depending on how you use it, it may be difficult to align your gear because of the tight finger space. But, with a little care, you can do it. I was not able to get a super tight lock down on my gear, but then again, it probably was not meant for the way I use it.
It is very small, study and handy. You just need to make sure you don't lose it. I like it.

Cant say a whole lot here it is what it is. This little guy gets the job done, it can be a pain to tighten down all the way and keep secure, but it is small and compact wich works better for gorrila shooting.

Comments about Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4"-20 Stud Connector:
I have a Canon DSLR and use it for video productions together with a Zoom H4N external audio recorder for optimal sound.I have always had problems placing the audio recorder in a good position or had to hold it myself together with the camera. Not optimal. With the Shoe adapter I can just mount it on top of my camera and have both sit on my tripod. Saved me a lot of hassle.

Comments about Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4"-20 Stud Connector:
I use this to either connect my H4n or my on camera monitor to my hotshoe. I wouldn't use anything that I would think might loosen or break to hold something that valuable. Great product!

Comments about Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4"-20 Stud Connector:
It may seem like this is a simple piece of kit that can't really be good or bad, but it can! I like this specific hot shoe adapter because it actually fits snugly very easily. Some adapters come loose easily and some feel cheap, but this one is constructed well and is easy to fit tightly.

I bought this hot shoe adapter to mount my H4n to the DSLR. I was impressed that this small piece was metal and that it held my H4n securely to my DSLR. A great accessory for the DSLR videographer.

Comments about Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4"-20 Stud Connector:
Many attachable LED lights for video cameras come with a small "adapter" which has a ballhead unit to turn and angle the light up and down, sideways, etc. For me, this adds weight and makes the attachment bulkier.
This adapter allowed me to attach my light directly to the camera without adding any significant weight. I am very pleased with this product as with all my purchases from B&H!!

Comments about Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4"-20 Stud Connector:
Let's be honest with ourselves, audio recording units such as the Zoom H4N looks gnarly attached to the top of a DSLR. The best you can do is minimize the profile.
This shoe adapter is about a small as they come. And it fits super snug.
Here's a tip. Tighten the tightening screws with your recording unit about 45 degrees off of center. Then, once the adapter is tightened, screw the unit straight to get a rock solid hold.

Comments about Pearstone Accessory Shoe Adapter with 1/4"-20 Stud Connector:
I use this to connect my H4 Zoom to my 7D. A little pricey for my taste. It has made my life easier being able to connect the H4 zoom to the camera. So I guess it has paid for itself in making my shooting life better.
