Why You'll Love It

• Quick Release Design: A top bead limit (safety screw) ensures cold shoe accessories snap in securely and won't slip off during shooting — even in fast-paced environments.
• Anti-Reverse Positioning Pin: Three anti-reverse positioning pin screw holes surround the 1/4" screw (hole distance: 9mm). Once the positioning pin is installed, it locks your accessories in place and prevents loosening or rotation — keeping your gear exactly where you need it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What thread size does this cold shoe mount use?

A: The cold shoe mount uses a standard 1/4"-20 thread, which is the most universal thread size in photography and videography. It is compatible with the vast majority of cameras, rigs, cage systems, and accessory mounts on the market.

Q: What is the purpose of the anti-reverse positioning pin?

A: The anti-reverse positioning pin inserts into one of three screw holes surrounding the 1/4" screw (spaced 9mm apart). Once installed, it prevents your mounted accessory from rotating or loosening during use, ensuring your microphone, light, or monitor stays firmly in position throughout your shoot.

Q: Is this mount compatible with camera flashes and hot shoe accessories?

A: This is a cold shoe mount, which means it provides a physical mounting point for accessories but does not transmit electronic flash signals. It works perfectly for microphones, LED lights, monitors, magic arms, and other rig accessories. For TTL flash communication, a dedicated hot shoe adapter would be required.

Q: How durable is the aluminum alloy construction?

A: The mount is CNC-machined from high-grade aluminum alloy and treated with an anodized surface finish, providing excellent resistance to wear, corrosion, and everyday handling. Despite its compact 26.5 × 24 × 10 mm size, it is built to withstand the rigors of regular production use.
