Any "gotchas" if I use this with an LED video light on the coldshoe, and HD Video camera on the tripod mount? Camera has no hotshoe

You will need to use a "Sync Cord" between the coldshoe/LED light and the camera. I found this product to be a little flimsy and would recommend the Alzo Transformer Dslr Rig, Handle And Extenders Kit- Multifunctional Camera Cage Bracket Incl. 3 Shoe Mounts, Height Extenders, Handle. by ALZO Digital

Not really George, just that fact that it is a robust unit and solidly contructed. I use it for video work but mount an ext. microphone on the cold shoe instead. You'll need a sturdy tripod to mount the entire thing to.

I'm happy with it. It's solidly built. I used it for a large DSLR on the tripod mount and heavy flash unit on the shoe. The only thing to watch for is the tension of your video light to the shoe. If your light desn't have a tension adjustment the light could slide out of the shoe if tilted forward.

I see no issue. This thing is a work horse for me. That has been one variation of how I have used it.

The receiver does not have to be mounted in the hot shoe - that is for convenience. Some people have rigged up a pouch they hang on their tripod to hold the receiver. I simply wrap the cord once around one of the knobs on my ballhead on the tripod and let it hang there. Not necessarily ideal, but it works.

Mollie H; The ePhoto Small Triple Mount, as advertised w/ "Hot shoe" mounts, has only "COLD SHOES". The mount on it's own CAN NOT Power or trigger anything. You need to get Sync Adapters with sync cords to power up the mounts. You need to get 1 sync adapter to mount on your cameras "Hot Shoe" and a sync adapter for each of the "cold shoe" mounts on the Triple Mount. You then will need sync cords to connect all the sync adapters together and then all your devices mounted on the sync adapters will indeed fire at the same time. Be careful as all the sync adapters need to be camera specific. Each camera makers hot shoes may be different so as you order be sure to get adapters for your camera. Amazon has all the adapters and cords for most cameras. I myself have a Nikon D5100 camera and it works great w/ the adapters and cords. You didn't say what camera, flash, or trigger you have or I could have given product numbers of devices you will need. Search Amazon carefully and ask more questions if necessary. Hope this was helpful. Bob

I purchased a Stroboframe cold shoe mount, haven't had to use as yet, as the one that comes kit this kit does the job. To be able to tilt, buy something like manfrotto 026 tilt adapter, I have one and works a treat!

It does work as a pass through hot shoe. The screw that holds it to the NEX camera is pretty small and I wouldn't try to put a lot of weight on it. I don't know about your light specifically, but probably OK if you don't get rough with it.

Just attach the GPS unit to the camera strap as previously mentioned, to use it and the flash. You cannot use the flash with the GPS attached to the hot shoe mount, it gets in the way of the flash popping up.

could not get it to work as the hotshoe on a HDR_560V does not work!! Major disapointment .

They make an addon mic that mounts on the hotshoe and plugs into a jack on the side of the camera. You should be able to use that port for your purpose.

As long as you have a hotshoe on your camera, yes. Just take into consideration that this is a light suited for video rather than still photography

Hi Theresa! I'm not sure I understand your question but I'll take a shot. If you are asking if you can mount the Dual Mount Bracket directly to your camera the answer would be yes. I bought mine to attach to my video camera and wanted it to hold the microphone and an led lamp as well just as it is pictured. It's worked beautifully however I haven't used it with my still cameras so I can't tell you about that aspect. If I've misunderstood your question please post a clarification and I will try to answer in more specific detail! Thanks for asking, Clint

This will definitely work on slave mode but I am not sure about hot shoe if it will work because different cameras have different size of hot shoe. I am using nikon d3200 both are working. For the price and quality pictures, this speed light flash is a steal.

Greetings fellow photographer! This stand is compatible with any flash with a hotshoe. There are no electrical contacts so any flash gun with a hot/cold shoe will sit atop just fine

No.... I purchased two mounts. DON'T BUY THE PIECE OF S^&# THAT SONY OFFERS. one was a straight ahead handycam smart shoeTO standard camera shoe adapter. The second is a bent metal mount that ties into the camera at the tripod screw and has two shoes (for lights & mic) I like that one.

If you have a Sony Camera you should get the Sony version, otherwise the hotshoe won't fit on there. Unless you have a Sony a99 which has multiple adapters which may work in that case.

install on the camera? dude , this is a 1000WATTS viedo light that is about 10 pounds :P , im guessing you are confusing it with a led light or something ? this is a light for video production nothing related to any camera in specific

Suno76, Hotshoue is only for mounting it to camera and holding it. For some reason it didn't work with my Canon 20D ( flash not fire).

Hi Joshua,The device has a hotshoe plate, however it communicates with the camera via the pin connector. I don't see why you couldn't have another trigger in the hotshoe (ie flash trigger). The only think is that the satechi trigger will be dangling from the pun connection on the side of your camera.Maybe a dual hotshoe mount could work.CheersRene
