The multi-use Vello CB-500 Dual Shoe Bracket will work with most camcorders, as well as with HD-SLRs. It features two cold-shoe attachments and mounts between your camera and tripod via a standard 1/4"-20 thread. This allows you to position your light and other accessories above and to the side of your camera lens. The top and side cold-shoe attachments promote off-axis lighting and also free up the on-camera hot-shoe for microphones, remotes, etc. To ensure comfort and control when used during handheld shooting, the CB-500 even features a rubber side grip that furthers its flexibility and functionality.
Note:
When using a flash combined with an HD-SLR, use of a TTL cord is strongly recommended. Using a typical hot shoe flash directly in the bracket might not secure it sufficiently.
