ePhoto Small Triple Mount Hot Shoe V Mount Bracket for Video Lights, Microphones or Monitors H629-2

I wanted a small V mount for a relatively compact setup with a small camcorder and handle and this fits the bill quite nicely.The bracket is stout. The metal is much thicker than I expected it would be. There's virtually no give or flex here and it's certainly not going to be the weak point in any mounting setup. The hot shoe screw is threaded into the bottom of the mount and it arrived a little loose but it was nothing a few turns of a wrench didn't fix up. It's plenty tight now and I have no worries about it going anywhere on me now, the extra paranoid could add a dab of thread lock if they really wanted to. It's also threaded all the way through the mounting plate so you can attach a tripod plate to it for off camera mounting options.The spacing and offset between the shoes is just perfect to fit an LED light panel and small boom mic. Third shoe mount in the middle is a nice touch but I don't plan on really using it for anything. Shoes themselves are very sturdy and firmly attached with 3 screws each.The whole thing has a very nice powder coat finish and looks quite nice and has a nice sized thumb wheel for locking it down in place.All in all, an excellent value.

Perfect for those times when you need to mount a monitor/Ninja 2, mic, and light but your DSLR only has that one hot shoe mount. What were those manufacturers thinking? Didn't they realize that DSLRs were going to be able to converted into digital cinema monsters? Ah that's right…they're still still cameras first…then video. Anyway, this mount is AWESOME! Keep in mind a few things:1) Make sure it's mounted correctly to your hot shoe or it'll throw off the balance of the camera. I use a Glidecam HD-4000 with my 5D Mark 3 and the SLIGHTEST weight difference can throw off that glass-like look immediately. Even if you don't use a Glidecam/Steadicam/SmoothOutYourHandheldVideocam, it has the capability of mounting off center which is just kind of annoying and makes me want to punch things.2) These are COLD shoes…it's the truth. This mount ran out on our wedding 3 months ago and it hasn't returned my texts, calls, or snapchats. These will not interact with your camera (like a flash) and won't power your devices (like a mic or the like).3) The middle shoe is limited in what you can put there since it's so small (insert 'that's what she said' here). I can't mount my LED light or monitor, but my Rode VMP fits perfectly. It mounts perfectly every time. Yup…I went there.Overall, it's a great mount. Sturdy, pretty light, and seems like it could tough out a fight with Mike Tyson…well…maybe his chihuahua.

This thing should be a no-brainer, yet somehow they manage to completely screw it up.The center screw used to mount the bracket on your camer's hot shoe (in my case, a Canon 5D MkII) is not directly connected to the braket itself. IT SCREWS ON. WHY? Basically, yes, it will fit on your mount, but provide no stability whatsoever. The thing twists and slides off easily. The center nut can be used to tighted the connection, but due to the poor design, can only tighten the connection to th camera, or the connection of the bracket - not both. You either get something that twists flimsily on your camera, or something that slides right off, depending on how you tighten it.I'm just dumbfounded on why none of the reviews seemed to tip me off at this obvious flaw. The center screw should be physically locked into place by design, like I've experienced on other models. If you look closely at the stock picture, you'll see the center cold shoe actually has a screw hole in the middle. This is the flaw I'm talking about. It twists right off.Luckily, I had a separate adapter that I've rigged to fit this thing properly (sortof). I'll just end up replacing it with a similar bracket in time, but I'm unhappy that I wasted my money off such a stupid, stupid design flaw.

Hoping the one I received just happened to have a defect and that the new one won't have an issue.My first impression was that this seems very well built and sturdy, and I was impressed.There is a problem with the item, however, I gave this 3 stars because (assuming it's just a glitch) I feel like it would otherwise be exactly what I'm looking for.It's small, but not too small. Low profile, exactly the size I need - not too small, not too big.It perfectly fits my Neewer CN-216 light and my Rode VideoMic GO microphone, with about 1" of space to spare between them.The issue with the one I received was that it's missing one of the very small screws/pegs located on the bottom of one of the sides. Therefore, I am not able to securely connect my light (there are 3 of these tiny screws on each side, and since it's missing 1, the light just wobbles/tilts and it's loose fitting).I am returning it and getting another of the same items, because otherwise this is exactly what I'm looking for.I was disappointed in the exchange process because I wasn't actually able to exchange it - I had to do a return and purchase a new one. Not a big deal, but annoying.Going to contact the company to see if they can double check the new one before sending it out, just in case this is a common issue. Seems that checking to make sure all 6 screws are there would be a pretty basic thing to check on quality control, so it's a bit disappointing.

It's not high quality, but it works perfectly fine for small and light items.

Brackets are situated in such a way that I cannot mount multiple items on it, which of course is the purpose of this piece.

Fell apart with first use.

Could be heavier duty but works

Received product fast and just as described! Great business and I will highly recommend to my friends and family.

Very bad build quality

You get what you pay for. It works but it is poorly made. The fastener to the hotshoe moves even after tightening. Very easy to tighten too much and destroy.

If you are looking for a cheap and budget friendly way to put more things onto your camera (microphone, lights, etc.) this would be a good candidate for that purpose.

Perfect for Multimedia :)

Very Good
