Any accessory with a flash shoe mount fits on top – primarily flash units, of course, but also directional microphones and other additional equipment for photography and video. Its base plate fits into any Arca-Swiss-compatible quick-release coupling. This allows the accessory to be placed directly on a ballhead, which in turn is mounted on a tripod. However, as the base plate of the FA-03 hot shoe adapter also has a ¼" thread on the underside, it can even be attached directly to a tripod with a ¼" screw. Weight only 11 g, made from CNC-milled and black anodised aircraft aluminium.
Our expert comment:
Not suitable for Sony!
According to customer feedback, this product is not suitable for use with Sony flash units or shutter releases that are attached via the hot shoe.
