Product Information
Full details
The Rycote 10cm Hot-Shoe Extension is designed for videographers and photographers who need to maximize the utility of their camera’s single hot-shoe mount. By providing an additional mounting point, it allows users to simultaneously attach essential gear like microphones and LED lights, significantly increasing equipment versatility. While it is an indispensable tool for expanding your rig, users should note that the extension occupies the primary camera shoe, meaning weight distribution must be monitored when using heavier accessories to avoid strain on the camera's mounting point.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install the extension, simply slide the base of the unit into your camera's hot-shoe slot and tighten the locking mechanism securely. Once seated, you can attach your accessory to the extension rail. To maintain the device, ensure the locking ring remains free of debris to guarantee a snug fit. Periodically check the tension of the 360-degree rotation joint; if it becomes loose due to vibration during travel, ensure the rotation screw is firmly tightened. Store in a padded equipment bag to prevent the rail from being scratched or bent during transit.
