This review is from: Bescor VB-50 Universal Shoe Mount Light Bracket, Attaches to Bottom Screw Mount on the Camcorder, Top & Side Shoe Mounts for Versatility. (Electronics)

Out of the box...on the top shoe, two of the three shoe mounting screws/threads are stripped allowing the external mic to float/bounce around which, to my surprise, ruined a nice video due to the bouncing noise heard throughout the video. On a tripod not moving, this sound is non-existant. Carrying the camcorder while recording is where the problem lies. To me the $12.00 purchase price is not worth the hassle to return it (the original box/package was tossed out, thinking "what could be wrong with this". Just a heads up for for future buyers

I bought this bracket so I could attach an off camera mike. The cold shoe is placed so you have to use it left handed. This creates a problem if you want to operate with the viewing screen in the open position. No can do. If you want to put it on the right side, the cold shoe is backwards which make the mike placement looking towards the rear. If you don't mind viewing throught the eyepiece, then it's ok.

This is a nice little camera accessory that is very flexible with its mounting configurations and is a good addition to your kit. Not much else to say than the price is right here on Amazon as opposed to the other online places when I bought this.
