    Comments about J-Rod The J-Cube Accessory Shoe Adapter & Mic Mount:

    I use it to attach my Zoom H4 to my Canon 7D to shoot movies. GREAT WAY to get professional level video for much less than a video camera. The only thing is I'm not sure why the J Cube is still so expensive - it's just an attachment.

      Comments about J-Rod The J-Cube Accessory Shoe Adapter & Mic Mount:

      The J-Cube feels substantial in your hand – this is a serious piece of equipment. It is very solidly built, uses high quality components, and adds just the right amount of additional shoes to my camera. The spacing of the added shoes on the J-Cube is just right to mount equipment without any encroachment. And because the J-Cube is very compact, it does not add much height to the camera. It also offers a far more secure mounting platform that does not wobble around and has a low center of gravity.

      If you have accessories with rectangular hot shoe plates, you will be stuck with mounting them vertically on the side shoes. I had this problem. So I contacted Jeff at J-Rod and he made me a new J-Cube with the side mounts turned through 90 degrees. Now I can mount accessories with rectangular hot shoe plates so that they point forward or backward along the top of the camera, and not straight up. A lot of accessories come with square hot shoe plates which will slide in to the standard J-Cube. But just to let you know that if you need a J-Cube with the side mounts rotated 90 degrees, all you need to do is ask.

          I use it on my HDR-FX1000 to hold a light, small shotgun, and wireless receiver. I've tried several shoe solutions and this is far and away the strongest and steadiest. My only complaint is the shoe fittings are a little tight. I hope I don't break an attachment on one of the mounts.

            Comments about J-Rod The J-Cube Accessory Shoe Adapter & Mic Mount:

            I use the J Cube with my Lumix GH2.
            When I first got it, I thought it was a little big, but when I started using it I realized that it is the perfect size.
            Not only I need to mount several things at the same time, but also my Zoom H4 recorder, when mounted on the top, wouldn't allow me to properly use the viewfinder.
            With the J-cube, I can mount it to the side and it doesn't obstruct the access to the viewfinder. Plus I can place a light and a mic on the extra 2 shoes.

                The J-cube helps the small doc filmmaking unit do a reliable run-and-gun operation, by offering additional mounts for lavs/shotguns/lights, as needed. Works great, installs easily. Highly recommended.

                  I use J-cube with Sony V1 camera. Fits perfectly, even with built in shotgun mic holder, but right side cannot be used...still enough room for my sehnnheiser wireless audio on right and video light on top. Awesome product :)

                      Originally the J-Cube worked in a limited capacity on my Sony Z-5 preventing the opening of the viewfinder. Upon contacting Jeff Rhode at [@] Jeff went out of his way to come up with a revised j-Cube. By off-centering three of the shoes on the J-Cube, the viewfinder on the my Sony Z-5 can now be opened, closed and rotated with a wireless mike attached vertically on the left side, a horizontally positioned wireless receiver on the right and an on-camera light on top. What was at first frustrating to use is now very useful. Jeff went above and beyond the call of duty in customer service.

                        I use the J-Rod J-Cube on top of my Canon 5DII. It holds my Zoom H4N, a Rode Videomic and a receiver for my Sony wireless lav. I have mainly used on a tripod in a small studio setting. The J-Cube is a great way to keep all of the peripherals organized and also close at hand. I had been hanging the Zoom and the Sony receiver off of the tripod...which resulted in a tangled mess of cables and a very amateur look.
