Varizoom VZSHOE Shoe Mount (Black)

Varizoom VZSHOE Shoe MountSolid construction quality. I use this for my Zoom H4N mount on my L-bracket with my Canon 7D

The VariZoom adjustable swivel mount seems to be well constructed and is working out very nicely to support my new Marshall 7" camera-mounted LCD monitor. Traditionally a weak point on these swivel shoe mounts, the Varizoom seems to have a very positive fastener that holds the somewhat heavy Marshall monitor in the desired position firmly. I use and highly recommend the VariZoom Adjustable Swivel Shoe Mount accessory.

... used to raise vid light above an obstructing microphone wind muff. Does the trick and easily adjustable.

Combine it with other straight or L brackets with flash mounts and easily, cheaply solve those 'special' requirements that always seem to materialize on a remote shoot.

I bought this VariZoom swivel to mount a H4N to the top of a Canon 7D, (it seems that many people have used this mount with success, and it is much cheaper than other options available), however once the shoe mount arrived the bottom screw would not turn to fasten to the 7D, so it freely slid in and out of the camera's hot shoe plate... AKA the bottom screw was locked up and wouldn't fasten. I've only sent two items back to Amazon and this was one of them. Perhaps I just got a dud though since many people have said on here that they have used them with success. (I needed more security so I purchased the Manfrotto brand shoe mount, also on Amazon.)

This is a great mount, I ordered it with my 60D and got this only a few days later. My 60D came 2 day shipping and this was 3-5.

As for the product, I had intended to use it to mount my Zoom H4n on top of my camera. The mount works well for this, but the built in mics on the H4n pic up any little handling noise on the camera, so if you pulling focus or touching the camera at all this would not be a good choice. Although the mount will still work to attach boom mics to the H4n so it is not a big problem. Plus I'm sure this will be great for a video monitor down the road. For now I will be looking for some sort of shock mount to attach my H4n.
