Does the grip have a hot shoe mount or a cold shoe mount? Can i use a hot shoe or a cold shoe adapter with it?

Hello Steven, yes the Opteka X-GRIP have a hot shoe mount on the top, so you won't need any adapter.

It is not a hot shoe. It is a cold shoe. This does not connect directly to the camera in any way in order to fire the flash. It is made from hard plastic modeled after the better metal version. The thumbscrew that tight the flash base gripper screws into plastic and strips out after the first few times you use it. Avoid getting this and by the metal one.

I don't know. I shoot video, so the shoe holds a top handle, reporter lights, microphones, microphone receivers or a combo thereof. Build quality is robust.

I discontinued using it, generated noise hot shoe adaptor required and not very stable. I used superglue but it still moved around.

Yes, it will work with any standard hot shoe mount, on camera or flash. Almost every recent camera and flash has this standard mount.

yes. It slides into the hot shoe mount. I use it for macro photography with Nikon lens mounted lights and it works great.

I have no problem with the bracket shoe mount. I use two of them on 2 diffrent tripods and have no issues.

There are cold shoe adapters, however the DM-50 must be directly inserted into the "S" mini shoe to work.

It does not have a hot or cold shoe for any flash. It is designed to be used with two constant lights as well as an umbrella. It can be mounted on a light stand.

You do not need a hot shoe adapter for the trigger. It can fit on Sony A37 directly. For the flash, you need an adapter if it can not directly fit on your camera. Mochalight

It does not 'require' a hot shoe. The picture showed the device on the hot shoe but is only to hold the Satechi. I use it dangling on the side and works just as good.

The light itself has a coldshoe mount. There is a base that comes with it (cold shoe mounts to the base) with a standard tripod mount on bottom. If you use just one light, any tripod or manfrotto nano lightstand will work.

The bottom hot shoe mount does unscrew I have used this arm for my light and my 7inch monitor and it works great for both

Yes, it will attach to the hot shoe with the coiled cable facing forward, i.e away from your forehead. The other end of the cable needs to be connected to the appropriate electric plug on your camera (depends on which version you buy). The hot shoe is just a holder so that is doesn't flop around.

No I don't think you can do that. The hot shoe just gives you a simple contact to fire the flash. If you mount an electronic viewfinder on top of it, I am pretty sure it won't have all the contact points needed for the viewfinder. You could mount another flash on top of the hot shoe adaptor, though. But almost certainly not the electronic viewfinder.

No Hot Shoe Needed. The black rectangle that goes in the shoe mount is the battery holder and powers the light.

Try a NEEWER LED Flash Light Bracket Hot/Cold Shoe Mount Handle Grip For DSLR Movie Camera DV , Amazon = $2.04. It looks like a vertical hand grip for an umbrella, 5" long, with a shoe at top and a threaded hole in the bottom. Screw the monopod in the bottom and attach the flash unit in the shoe at top.
