4.0 out of 5 stars Not just for Canon cameras!, July 16, 2008

I purchased this to be able to use an external microphone with my Canon Optura 500 which does not have a hot shoe connector. It folds up neatly and has locks so it doesn't close unexpectedly. The bracket would work with any camera that has standard tripod mounting threads. One thing that would improve it would be if the dual upright supports to the hotshoe could be made into a comfortable hand grip as you will find yourself holding onto them.

If you want this bracket to hold the light on the axis of the lens, look elsewhere. Otherwise it does what it's supposed to--attaches to a tripod, holds a mic or light with a shoe, and allows a camera to be attached.

2.0 out of 5 stars AWKWARD lamp for the Optura 400, January 5, 2007

Odd design. Very cumbersome. The fasteners are hard to tighten and keep tight. Maybe you should buy the 500 with the built in light. If you've seen the 400 then you can really blame 'em. Where would the light go?
