If I got a bracket with a hotshoe, any reason this can't be used with a camcorder?

Mic has both a shoe mount and a tripod thread. Output is by 3.5 mm stereo plug. Because of the length of the output cable, your mic input jack needs to be within about 10" from the shoe mount.

That won't work unless you can get clever about giving the mic power. Part of the hotshoe wiring includes the power to the mic as well as the audio outs to the camera. You'd be better off getting a different mic for that camera.

Yes, as long as your camcorder has yellow/red/white outputs and your other components have similar inputs. Bear in mind, this is standard def. If you're looking for hi-def, this won't do the job. However, it's a very reliable A/V amp.

I don't use a Nikon, but it is a universal hot shoe mount. It works on my Canon, Panasonic, and Kodak. i have no problem switching between camcorder and camera. Most hot shoe mounts are standard. I just really like the design because I run the two matching lights on the sides and they balance out nicely, I use a shotgun mic in the center top. It keeps things compact around my cameras - feels less ackward than other hot shoe mounts I've used. I hope this helps.

No, it does not come with a camera bracket. Yes, you will be able to mount a small camcorder, but it might be to much for it. Manfrotto has a lighter and cheaper version for light weight devices Part #237. A mini ball head might be what you need to go between the camera and the bracket. Search for the Manfrotto or the Giottos (cheaper) mini ball head. Just be sure that you are buying equivalent connections (male-female or female-male size).

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 Christopher, try checking third party mounts compatible with your Action Camcorder. -Vincent

I am so sorry but I am afraid that I do not know the answer to this question as I am not acquainted with the camcorder and adapter that you are using.

Yes. This adapter will work with an Active Shoe Interface on any Sony Camcorder that features it.

If it has a lug hole to attach the mounting plate and does not weigh more than 3 lbs. it should be great for modern small camcorders. This is pretty heavy duty, not a wal-mart cheap-o.

Not sure. This is basically a photo tripod adapter for mic stands. This would allow you to put a camcorder or other camera on a mic stand. Or in my case, a Tascam digital audio recorder.

The simplest answer to that question is no. However if you could find a screw that had the male end on both ends, then you could screw the bracket to a better tripod. The down fall would be that it wouldn't have a quick release. the bracket surprisingly is very strong and quick to use.

Something like an "Marshall V-LCD-MT Monitor Adapter 1/4" Mount Adapter To Video Camcorder Hot Shoe For LCD Monitors" might work by removing the handle and screwing in the 1/4 inch adapter. The YN-600 might be too heavy for it though. The YN-600 seems to be set up to be used with the handle or with a tripod or light stand. I also have a YN-300 II and it comes with an adapter that allows it to be fixed into the hotshoe.

I don't have that camcorder, so I don't know. My guess is that you don't need any kind of adapter or connector since they are both made by Sony.

Only the flash card, which shouldn't be a problem. Generally a pretty good camcorder. The other thing you need to be aware of is that the "accessory shoe" slot is JVC "only". It is some proprietary size that does not accept normal shoe accessories like a light or microphone. (JVC makes it's own shotgun for this camcorder, but no light.) Generally very good quality imaging and a huge advantage of an external mic input and headphones for semi-professional use. I'd love to see it record in plain MPEG4 instead of the AVCHD or iFrame wrappers, but the can be decoded by most nonlinear edit systems. Also be aware it has it's own proprietary charger. It does not accept USB charges like most small camcorders. Pretty good battery life though. Hope this helps.

As the camcorder you mentioned has the multi interface shoe, this adapter is made for it. Please keep in mind that this is not a heavy duty item. I've had 2 of them snap in half under the weight of an LED light panel (with a larger sony FB battery...read heavy). I repaired and beefed up one of them which has made it much more durable. It is probably better that the mount snapped as opposed to ripping the shoe out of the small camera though. I use it regularly on a CX760v.
