The Cold Shoe Mount from Vello is a standard cold shoe mount with a 1/4" thread on the bottom. It can be used for mounting shoe mount accessories to a bracket, tripod, lightstand, or any accessory that features a 1/4"-20 screw. Unlike a hot shoe, the cold shoe has no electronic connection to a camera - it's used simply to hold an accessory.

I ordered these as a replacement for the metal cold shoes I have, the metal ones were causing shorts with my flashes and would not fire. These fit perfect on a light stand and seems to be decent quality.
Nice inexpensive cold shoe to use if your camera didn't come with one. My only complaint is the recess for the attaching screw is a bit too shallow. I'm using it with an RRS 4 plate to make a video rig for my Sony RX100 and needed to put a shim between the plate and the cold shoe mount to the screw would fully seat. Otherwise, works as wanted.
