JJC MSA-1 Mini Advanced Hot Shoe To Universal Shoe Adapter For VIXIA HF M30 M300 M31 M32 S10 S100 S11 S20 S200 S21 HF20 HF200 HF21

When I first tried to use this with several standard hot shoe items (Nikon flash, Sony microphone, etc.), they did not fit in this adapter unless I forced them. The outer metal flanges of this adapter were bent inward just a bit at their tops, making the dimension between the two sides too narrow for anything but a force fit of accessories.Rather than go through the hassle of returning this item, I used a small Phillips screwdriver to remove the eight screws holding the adapter together, carefully used a vise and pliers to straighten the flanges, creating about an extra millimeter of width between the inner sides of the metal bracket, and then put it back together. Now hot shoe accessories slide in and out easily and sit stably on my Canon camcorder, as expected.It seems likely that quality control was insufficient on the item I received. It's okay now, after correction. Your mileage may vary.

I was thrilled to find this as I wanted to attach a monitor on top of my Camcorder. It attached but it was not very secure. A short while after attaching the monitor, the adaptor snapped in half! This happened while the monitor didn't have a battery so it was lighter. This gizmo is a failed attempt at a needed item for those with older camcorders with the AIS shoe but needing a universal shoe mount for accessories. I have just purchased the Pearstone SSA-3 which I hope is better. I was refunded promptly for my return.

It seems to be a good product and holds up decently. I must admit I was a bit confused on how to place it upon my cameras hot shoe, so much so I was worried I had purchased the wrong adapter. However, after I realized my mistake, it fit fine and works like a charm. I am afraid it won't hold up under a ton of stress and usage, but as it wasn't "that expensive" and will take it as it is.

Returning this item because it didn't fit. Right adapter and everything, just the camera I had seemed to have a design flaw. The hot shoe mount was sunken into the camera so a sliding door could cover it for whatever reason. Though this might work but I don't think anything that isn't flexible will work for my camera. If you need this, make sure it is the right one before you buy!

Got it for my Sony Handycam. It fits but it falls off easily. I hate Sony for not making the hot shoe a standard size. I must've spent over $200 trying to find something that fits so I can put a field monitor on top. I finally gave up and got a second tripod for the field monitor. It actually ended up being a much better solution than trying to mount it on top of the camera.

Purchased for SONY HDR CX675 but the product just falls out of the shoe. It looks like it will work fine, but then it doesn't tighten enough to not just fall out of the multi input shoe.

I was really hoping I could find a TRUE hot shoe adapter that I could use to mount other stuff like microphones to. I blame Canon for making an Advanced Mini Hot Shoe instead of just using a standard Hot Shoe. This does what I need it to though since I'm just mounting a light to my video camera, but I would have liked to keep my options open for future accessories I decide to buy.I have a 132-count LED light that I use with this. It's kind of hard to get off and put in, but it fits snugly. My light feels kind of wobbly on top of the adapter though, but I know it's snug in place and isn't going anywhere. I'd recommend this product to anyone who needs it for a medium to small object.

Most of my Sony camcorder attachments won't work without this adapter. A great value.

Just wanted to be able to mount a 'standard' mount, holding a microphone, on the camcorder. Took a bit of fiddling to find the tiny little unlock button that allows you to slide it in place, but once I did it slid on and stays on firmly.

lo puse en mi cámara y ya no lo he quitado, y hasta este momento me ha servido exactamente para lo que fue comprado.

Works as intended

Great device for mounting Sony CX550
