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.

A simple, solid bracket for a very low price. Was very difficult getting my flash in and out of the hot shoe the first couple of times, and I was afraid I might break it if I forced it too much. Luckily that didn't happen, and now it fits in tight but okay. Time consuming to change from vertical to horizontal orientation but, again, it's very inexpensive. If you don't want to pay more than $12 for a bracket, this might work for you. Just beware of the sticky hot shoe.

Bracket is made very well and is very sturdy... A great addition to your photography equipment... =)

This mount has multiple ways to mount an external flash/video light and an extra mic. My only complaint would be that the rubber handle smells like rubber. After using it, your hands smell like that too. But, for $10 I guess you get what you pay for.

The bracket is crap, as the screws holding the shoes on are mounted to stripped holes. Somehow I have managed to not lose any pieces yet, but what a waste of money!! Very poorly constructed since the only part that needs to work is faulty. You are better off just using the show that come on your recording device. Again what a waste of money!
